rudedog ... About Lane It seems that Lane isn't interested in a CEO role of any outfit, he indicated that he would be interested in an advisory/consulting role. *********** 7/02/00 - President Resigns from Oracle after Eight Years Jul. 2 (San Jose Mercury News/KRTBN) host.wallstreetcity.com From the article: "I don't believe people who are 55 years old should be running businesses," Lane continued. "I think they should be looking over businesses, counseling businesses, but I believe people who are 45 should be running businesses. All of these guys who are 55 to 60 years old running the big American companies makes no sense to me." ***********

nope - Capellas would have reported up to Robert Shaw in the Industries Organization - Capellas was a very minor player at Oracle - Energy was one of their smallest businesses and Oracle has hundreds of VP's, not to say he didnt turn his brief stints at Oracle and SAP into a winning hand (at least for himself) at Compaq. Ellison and Lane worked out well since Ellison was AWOL most of the time - perhaps due to Larry wantng to take a more hands on role these days did Lane's hand get forced.
