Hi Joe,

OK. I guess after spending 8 months in the life boat with everyone it was kind of feeling like a moral issue, and watching a 15% drop in three days made me feel like I was rubbing salt in the wounds when I looked back on some of my comments. I still think there is a possibility Novell could turn this thing around, but I don't think the chances are as good now as they were 6 months ago (or 6 months from now). If the movers and shakers at Novell would place both feet against their shoulders and give a mighty push, they just might get their heads loose to where they could see daylight.

FWIW that last bunch of puts I picked up are showing a 50% profit (on paper) in less than a week. The 7 1/2s?.....well, we'll see. My APM I can't quite figure out. It earned over $4 per share last year and just dropped below $15 (book value over $9). Go figure. I'm tempted to turn off the computer and take a nap for 6 months and see what happens.

Tomorrow should be interesting. I wonder if Wall Street still thinks that people without jobs can afford computers. Good luck.

Regards,

Don
