I am a bit of a cynic... I live in Argentina and we have many things that
don't make sense to the casual observer but that if you do look in a little
deeper you see that someone is abusing that thing that doesn't make sense
and making money or gaining power with it. So I started to look at all the
things that don't make sense to me from that perspective and everything
makes sense... twisted, but makes sense...

It all makes perfect sense
expressed in dollars and cents,
pounds shillings and pence.
[Perfect Sense, Pink Floyd]

Now... flash MOS simply does not make sense to me (from an end user point of
view)... so... who is making money or gaining power with it?

Is it a move to try and get people to stop using oracle support (cost
reduction)?

I used to search metalink as my first source for Oracle issues, now i only
use it when I need to log an SR... Google has far better answers usually...
and sometimes links to Oracle Forums with interesting MOS notes which I can
then look up specifically.

Also, it would appear that the search engine they are using is Enterprise
Search... which sucks... they should drop the product line, get one of those
nifty google boxes and have a good search functionality in the search area
of the crappy support portal.

Oh, htmlsupport... it works, I usually use it... I still find it too damn
slow... I tried IE, FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari and I have windows XP with
3G of ram and a core2duo CPU... it shouldn't be slow... but it is... because
it's Oracle...

Ohhh, the days were much more happier when 'calling Oracle' resulted in
Batman talking with Barbara Gordon...


cheers
Alan.-
