Just got back to New York today I want to thank all of the Novell engineers that I met for their gracious hospitality. I learned a great deal from everyone. It was exciting to be around intelligent people from the computer industry again. The same kind of excitement I get whenever I travel to Silicon Valley but Utah's mountains are more spectacular. I can see why the word "scale" means something there. It's a beautiful place to live and work. I especially want to thank Scott Lemon. He is one terrific talented guy. I really think some of the people that post here do not understand what Scott is all about. He is really very very concerned about the hard working engineers at Novell and their future. He has worked hard both inside and outside the company to have the right things happen for them. He joined Novell in 1986. He knows everyone. I'm only disappointed that he wasn't given a chance to really exercise his talents within the company. I think Novell made a great mistake in not letting him make things happen for them. Incidentally Scott and I drive exactly the same model car, right down to the year, color and the sunroof. How's that for coincidence. I kept trying to put my rental car key in his doorlock. Senile old bastard. For those of you that want to take a vacation in Utah and particularly those that want a real Western experience and have children that enjoy horseback riding, I recommend the WindWalker Ranch. Its about 70 miles south of Provo in Spring City Utah. The head wrangler is named Jeff. He comes from a family that helped found Spring City. (As he put it, Brigham Young couldn't get any of these Mormons to follow the rules. So he sent them down there and left them for the Indians to take care of. Didn't work.) He and his fellow cowboys love riding, they love horses and they love to ride back into the mountain wilderness. Jeff's dog Squeak has one lame back leg. She stepped on a cedar twig and caught it in her front paw and that put two of her legs out of commission. But that didn't stop Squeak. She chased after the rabbits on two legs. Have you ever seen a dog run on two legs? My last night in Utah, I took my wife to dinner at the Stein Ericksen Lodge in Park City. Toysoldier, if you want to get that little advisory committee together over dinner --- that's the place. PS. When Eric's wife asked me if I travelled with techie gear to Utah like all techies to keep connected to the internet, the answer was no computer, no working cell phone, and no New York Times for most of the trip. I did show her my new cowboy boots. PS1. What the hell did you guys do to the NASDAQ while I was gone!
