Talk to management about bringing in an independent consultant to evaluate the cost to the organization of keeping this pathetic dinosaur or moving to something supported by Oracle in the current millenium. It will likely never get any better than it currently is. And an upgrade to the operating system could make it substantially worse.
If they won't listen ... polish up your resume and get out while you still have marketable skills.
If you need references to an independent consultant in your area you can contact me off-line.
