My school had this system too.

The thing was, when it rolled out (2007), everyone was thrilled with it because it replaced a mainframe that you had to telnet into. That mainframe had hours of operation, i.e. you couldn't look at the course catalog at night because they shut down the mainframe to save power.

Oracle makes a ton of money because what they're competing with is just incredibly terrible.

The last college I attended also shut down their servers from 11pm-7am, so you couldn't make payments, check your balance, view your transcript, drop a course...

This was last year btw.
