The reason Circuit City went under is because of Oracle.... http://www.insight24.com/webcasts/content-100869_1 I guess it was cheaper to go Chapter 7 than to pay for Oracle's licenses. :-P Of course you could probably blame Janet because she probably wanted them to move from Informix to DB2 so CC was forced to look at Oracle as an alternative... :-P But hey! What do I know? I didn't cover CC.
