Here's a couple of possible 'bad news' items to think about:

1) Y2K lockdown is affecting Novell more than expected.
By the way, read William Fleckenstein's comments. He thinks that
lots of hardware and software companies are going to get majorly
hit from the lockdown in the following way-- software and hardware
sales were unnaturally high due to purchases being moved up before
Y2K lockdowns. Thus, they showed unusual and false growth in sales.
Denial on the part of analysts kept them from realizing that this
was just front-loading of purchases. Now all the hardware and
many software companies are going to disappoint, starting with IBM.

2) Microsoft spreading news about Win2K.
We here know the difference between Active Domains^h^h^h^h^h^hirectory and NDS, but that doesn't mean that Goldman Sachs does.

3) Hey, maybe NT4 or Linux is hitting Netware hard and we just don't know about it. Novell *does* have other products besides NDS, you know.
