And for good reason.

Although my original report was based on 10gR1, there's nothing I've seen to suggest that I should invest more time in it for 10gR2. Disappointing. It'd be a better sales tool and eye-candy if it were stable.  

Enjoy! GL!

	Hmmm...
	
	Two hours and no responses.
	
	GC does not appear to be in wide use.

                I was also told that GC could be used to (easily?) download and

                apply Critical Patch Updates. Maybe not quite automated, but

                simplified at least. Has anyone experienced that?                 

                It was also stated that this beast would require 8Gig of RAM,
                which seems rather excessive.
