(you may have already seen it) http://www.techworld.com.au/article/410298/university_accuses_oracle_extortion_lies_rigged_demo_lawsuit</p><p>Certainly a worst case scenario, but misrepresentation, most often due to lack of practical knowledge on the sales side, is unfortunately common in ERP sales. ERP is complicated, and on one hand the prevalence of this is understandable, but on the other hand when you end up with something useless due to incorrect information, it can really impact an organization.</p></p>

They have neat stuff to help with small projects, but not a lot of electrical stuff yet. There's a little bit of overlap but not much.</p>

Those 161-in-1 carts do not contain licensed games. And there you go and post it on your front page. /facepalm</p>

(and it'd be great if the problem would get solved before my company hits your size.)</p>
