And it is even more unusual for an author to not assume that you are already well-versed in the subject.Especially useful is McDonnell's section on search engines, which liststheir websites and explains how to use them. For example, she tells you howto "...monitor what's being said about your favorite hot topic in thethousands of discussion groups on the Internet... you can easily search bysubject, newsgroup name, date, or writer of the posted messages."I keep this book right next to my computer and use it almost every day.

Review of The Oracle Edge: How Oracle Corporation's Take No Prisoners Strategy Has Made an $8 Billion Software Powerhouse (Hardcover)

One of Oracle's founders and I had a good laugh over this book.The inaccuracies are amazing.About two pages in it says that Oracle was started to build a database on an IBM mainframe for the Air Force.Wrongcustomer, wrong computer, wrong project.It doesn't get much better lateron.The author didn't bother to interview any early Oracle people exceptthe accountant.The book says there are few nerds at Oracle, and everyoneis fashionably dressed.This tells me he only met sales and marketingpeople, not the several thousand technicians who worked in the adjacentbuildings and actually built the products.A bit later the author saysthat he was moved from an inexpensive motel to a fancy hotel because that'show Oracle people lived.He doesn't mention that the manager in charge ofthat group was fired for wasting money. I could go on, but this review mustbe limited.

I think the book does suggest the tone of the sales andmarketing people when left on their own, but the shareholders should knowthat most people are modest, hardworking, normal people and that wastingmoney is not the corporate standard.
