sorry if this is a bit off topic but it gives me an excuse for a whinge :)

I have this misfortune of having to use Oracle Financials at work, not 
only is it the old version because thay insist on running NT for the 
databases. (The newer version has too make 'unix type hooks' (?) and 
won't run on NT)

The installation routine is the most hideous I have ever seen. The end 
product is ghastly and is completely un-intuitive.

Oracle may do great databases but they have no idea about accounting 
package design.
