No BP Ritchie, not ready to buy NOVL now.

I agree with everything you wrote in your post to me. NOVL absolutely did it to themselves, choosing not to expand into other product offerings that didn't require a Novell server. When MSFT added peer-to-peer capability it should have been a wakeup call. Remember that crap called netware lite?!!

>Have you seen any good Marketing programs from Novell lately? Or any really strong sales programs? ... I haven't, but expect them to start soon ... or maybe we should try to get the BOD to do something to protect and enhance shareholder value again, maybe they'll actually do something more drastic this time (like sell the company).

No, I haven't. However MSFT has a great promotion going. In Dallas on October 29th they are having a 2-1/2 hour briefing. You listen to their propoganda, and get a FREE not-for-resale copies of:
- Microsoft Backoffice server
- Office 97
You know they'll fill the room. I'll even be there.
