Rod,

If people "heeded" your "advice", we would all still be sitting in caves wondering if rocks are edible. Before you fade off into the MSFT sunset, I am still waiting for an explanation of why NetWare "sucks" so badly.

1. Is it in the root functionality of the product? Does it not perform all that it is intended to?

2. Is it not stable? I can't recall ever having to completely re-install Netware because of a lock-up. With Win95 and NT, we do this sometimes daily.

3. Perhaps it's a security issue? I've spent hours at Novell's site only to find 2 (TWO) security issues that could be considered inherent in the NOS itself. MSFT has "patches" and "work-arounds" for what they term "New Technology"=NT at least once a week.

As I said, "it sucks" and "spaghetti-ware" just won't cut it out here.
Explain yourself.
