Thinking back to our lively discussion regarding Novell's lack of a GREAT advertising campaign I recently spent some time relaxing and thinking (I do that from time to time). Setting: Corporate Offices Time: Normal Business Hours The Main Character: Super Geek (A Network Admin empowered by NDS - he wears thick glasses and a pocket protector). The Scene: Super Geek walks about this seemingly quiet office scenery as people calmly walk about minding their business. He carries with him a LARGE RED BULLHORN with NOVELL in white enblazed upon it. Lifting the BULLHORN to his mouth he begins - SUPER GEEK [In the same vein as "Good Morning Vietnam!"] "Good Morning People! It is now Day 313 of continous networking. [Light applause follows] Moving along down the corridor he pops his head into an office, "You have access to the new applications and we've installed the lastest patches without even touching your system! The office dweller flashes a sexy smile. As he closes the door: SUPER GEEK [in a self-congratulating tone] "Thank you ZENWorks!" Further along he passes a printer station where people wait for their print jobs from the output tray. SUPER GEEK [Into the BULLHORN] "Network printing bottleneck!?! Get me a printer!" A network tech quickly enters the scene and unpacks a new printer. She plugs it into a powerstrip and before Super Geek can leave, it begins spewing print jobs. SUPER GEEK [Again to HIMSELF] "Ah, plug-n-print thanks to NDPS". Cut to: THE SERVER ROOM Several DOZEN computers hum along - CLOSE UPS of several monitor show Novell products working hard. VOICE OVER Keep the WORK in your network. FADE TO: Black screen with the word NOVELL in RED. VOICE OVER The leader in directory-enabled networking. ----------- OK, maybe another tequila sunrise and this will sound ALOT better :) PJ Strifas
