Because they didn't buy it based on Oracle support, other people bought it based on whether marketeers could convince the other people Oracle could do the job better than the competition. Or else they jumped on a bandwagon. I use it for both those reasons. Actually, I kind of got hauled onto the bandwagon. But it's been lucrative, so I can't complain. It is kind of a pain having to support Oracle and not knowing whether _I_ can get support when I need it.

I'm not a rah-rah about it, although I should be for remunerative reasons. But how can I ignore my mistakes in trusting Oracle Corp., and not be deluded?
