RE: How long to hold onto old Oracle CDs?

Yeah, these are actually replacements, too. But when I ordered them, the person (back when you could actually talk to a person on a non-level 1 call) was surprised that they had any 7.x media in stock. She had said that they would distribute the CDs only as long as they had stock.

Maybe I'll make an Oracle Mobile using these CDs and all the "Start Here" CDs that come with every pack. At least I won't be throwing them out... :)

Thx!

Actually the CD's are available. You just have to request them from Oracle. Of course, this does depend upon having a support contract.

Ordered a replacement CD a couple of months ago for 7.3.4 (HP/UX) due to cracked media.
