RE: metalink

I
would agree with that as well.  For such a large company I would have to say that they have one of the worst web pages in the history of web pages.  I have seen second year students at The New Jersey Institute of Technology develop better web sites than that.  Do you realize that I had to do a search for metalink website because I couldn't find the link on their website.  Maybe it was like a project of larry's, he offered it up to some 12 year old HTML gurru and let em go?

  What
  the heck is wrong with Oracle? They have InterMedia nee ConText,   

  and
  the searchability of their "support" site is embarassingly feeble.   

  Why
  no "smart searches"? Why no automatic notification when a   "Forum"

  This

      does anybody know what exactly MetaBlink runs on? 
      
      last I heard it was clustered 6500's with 6 G of 
      RAM. 
      I actually called client relations to let me know, 
      and they have not returned the call. 
      Sun is good stuff, but the site has been truly flakey 
      for a major corporation's flagship support center.

      I was trying to use MetaLink yesterday morning (east coast 
      USA) & was getting an authorization 
      error.  I called OTS customer service who verified they were 
      having a problem.  Wonder if some duhveleper got a 
      fat finger in the wrong place.
