It doesn't matter that Oracle no longer supports 7.3.4 and any changes in hardware/OS/etc may force an upgrade? Extended Maintenance Support ends at the end of 2002, so that's it for bug fixes (I wonder if that includes security patches?). Certification with supported products, newer OS

I'd suggest support. Issues I've seen are the hardware needs replacing, they don't make that size of hard drive any more, that version of the operating system doesn't support the new hard drives that are available. The new version of the operating system isn't supported by Oracle 7.3.4. The
