For a time I really idolised Larry Ellison. Then I saw a documentary on Oracle early years and someone said - "There was no Oralce v1, as Ellison, "knew no one would want to buy version 1". This sounded both stupid and an urban legend. Till I checked the Wikipedia entry:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database#Releases_and...

It not only changed my perspective of the man but also the company. One can know a lot about a company's practices from the way it was founded. Now there is nothing about Oracle which surprises me any more.

I'm so sorry. I don't think he's literally Satan, because from what I can tell Satan has some principles.
