Bill is the poster boy for all males. He has fun and can get away
redefining many terms in our dictionary such as the definition of sex
and inhaling.
SAP is doing good even in the EU crisis when most big companies postpone upgrades. A
little history here. Powersoft, the frontier client in the then-new
client server computing, was acquired by Sybase who did not fare well in
the database against Oracle. One loser + One Loser = Two Losers.
SAP
was the white knight to acquire Sybase otherwise Sybase would die. SAP
was fighting Oracle in the corporate accounting system plus other
applications. The advantage of SAP is the EU connection and the less (if
any) tariff to EU countries. Powersoft has actually dead as most
developers switched to Java and its derivatives. I
used to be a captain PowerBuilder programmer with the sinking ship.
That's why I switched to investing - the skill will be useful even when I
grow very, very old.
