To Uninstall Oracle...

Dictaphone 1998 – We had a love/hate (OK a hate/hate) relationship with Oracle. One of our issues was that the installer/uninstaller was written in Java. So it ran slow and crappy everywhere. Jerry had tacked a sheet of paper to the wall in the lab. It was hanging directly in front of you when you came in. Well, we had some investors come in one day - some of whom were big Oracle proponents (I know, I wondered where they came from too). So on the top sheet in 2" letters was the text "Oracle Uninstallation Instructions". Well funny thing...we had a second page which one of the pro-Oracle folks read. It read "fdisk".
