Thanks for the post and ping.
Larry Ellison comes off as a very good guy. Oracle has grown and grown and it can do many, many things.
Larry has a ranch in my neck of the woods and a man I used to know well* was Larry’s co-pilot for a number of years, Larry being the pilot.
A man named Greg Gianforte started a Customer Response Management (CRM) company, hired Steve Daines as a VP who hired my previous director (at another Tech company) as a Director at RightNow Technologies (RNT). She designed a training/certification position for BBB333 and I began working for RNT.
It was a fun gig and when my training/certification position had certified all of our employees I was hand-picked to work on a project overseen by VP Daines.
Eventually I went to work in the University system as an Adjunct Professor.
Oracle purchased RNT and it’s a big campus here in SW Montana.
Greg Gianforte is the Governor of Montana and Steve Daines is our Junior Senator.
Oracle’s CRM team works worldwide with an enormous customer base.
The above article makes me like Red Bull even more.
*I write that I used to know him well as we were fairly close. Long story short I was subponeaded by the FBI to testify in Federal Court at the sentencing trial of his son-in-law (whom I had worked with at another company). My testimony changed the Judge from ‘deviating down’ (on the Federal minimum sentencing guidelines and letting him walk) to having him serve 18 months in Leavenworth.
Needless to say we weren’t so close after that.

The 50s & 60s F1 racing was REAL racing by pro drivers, and I enjoyed it more than today’s hi-tech offerings, with the drivers a close second to the machinery and software.
