			 On June 16, 1903, Ford Motor Company was incorporated and the Industrial Revolution started to hit a major acceleration point.  On June 16, 1977, a similar event occurred with the incorporation of Oracle Corporation (then called Systems Development Laboratories -- SDL).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid41_gci1261162,00.html?track=NL-786&ad=592384&asrc=EM_NLN_1625565&uid=5836400"><P>Oracle celebrated its 30th anniversary on June 16, 2007, as a multi-billion-dollar company literally supporting every major business.  It's amazing to look back on the history of Oracle Corporation and the diverse team that has led to its success.  Larry has been the driving factor of Oracle the company, but Bob Miner, whose Assyrian family emigrated from Ada, Iran, was the driving factor of Oracle the product.
