This is the worst I can ever remember. It's an unusable joke.
Try their marketing hype site (www.oracle.com) and see how fast it comes
up...

I would not leave the impression that I was trying to blame recent problems
solely on increasing usage. I doubt this week is THAT much worse than 3
weeks ago when Metalink was slow but usable. And I might acknowledge a
little more culbability in bringing about the current situation -
force-feeding virtually all support to the Web, collecting money up front,
which ought to give a decent indication of potential demand, then failing to
make provisions to supply the necessary services. I'm certain that its not
easy, but it ain't cheap either and we don't get rebates, so I'm not
disposed to be real understanding.

And if you were running a comparable system, what would *you* say?

Man, these guys just invite the wise-ass comment, don't they? Such as:
Well maybe if the product worked better/was less confusing/had better
documentation we wouldn't all be in Metalink!
Oh no! If 4 new servers brought the system to its knees just think how bad
it'll be when the rest of the hardware arrives!
4 new top-of-the-line servers, just think what that'll do to their power
unit charges!
Plus I can't rid myself of the image of us all 'staggering' to Metalink for
help.
