1. Larry Ellison ( and presumably his son) know nothing about selling a product to the public

how many people have purchased "oracle" products? Do you even know what products Oracle makes?

Oracle sells relational database products to the Fortune 500. and cloud services ( as an also ran to Amazon, Meta, and even Microsoft ). Highly specialized software sold to people that have developed apps that use the software to drive efficiency into their operations.

It's a big market, but not a mass market.

We all have purchased Microsoft ( or leased it in the current model ), we all use google, and most of us use facebook ( not me! ), but not Oracle. They don't understand about selling to the public.

We will see if the Paramount Sky Dance CBS will actually make money... I will try not to watch anything from Sky Dance. I already canceled any subscriptions. I will simply do without. Need to read more books anyway.
