I have been running Oracle on a (Swedish!) UNIX-system (DS90) and I think
that the people at Oracle have really made an effort here.
(What they have not done will be properly bug-reported and corrected (?) )

This product is available on the Mac, requires 2 Meg of RAM and eats 5 Megs
of your hard disk. If anyone wants additional information about how to
contact the nearest Oracle representant, mail me, since I don't have it
available until tomorrow.

About the all Mac thing: [quote from small booklet]

that resides on your Macintosh system, ..."

Seems to me, it has to be there in all...
