Oracle Media Objects

Post by boley »

This is one that I used professionally for several years. The Oracle name and its ability to run cross platform made it an easier sell to IT types who were still largely in the real men only use the command line camp. It was very polished at the time, probably the cleanest implementation of xtalk type programs I used until LC came along.

Thanks, I never used or even hear of it when it was around so I only know what I've read about it in recent research. Of course I've heard of Oracle because of JAVA, but I never knew they had an xTalk implementation until last week! I looked at some online documentation for it and it seems like it must have been quite nice! Maybe I'll see If I can find a copy and give it a spin in an emulator or VM.

Oh it's PowerPC?!?!? EXCELLENT!!!
I still have my MDD G4 up and running (along with my trusty ancient Mac512KE) that I keep around for old media stuff!
I'll definitely give that a spin when I get a chance!
