Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
Patrice,
The last apple (other than the ones in the cafe.) was an apple lisa that a technical writer had which was 14 years ago. No apples in our insurance company. I suddenly feel very old because I was working mainframe back then on a dumb terminal.
I bet if I suggested that people would look at me blank. Assuming the MSFT reps didn't stuff an apple in my mouth while Big Blue (outsource company) sat on me {I know a few people at work "duh-velopers" who might enjoy watching}. Besides, not a supported platform by our vendor. Though I wouldn't mind playing with OS/X operating system. I like toys.
