Hi Fred: <g> Well, I'm a pit bull <chuckle>. No, really, I understand your feelings. I really do. I know how BP and Steve, and Salah, and Paul, and VK, and Eddie Kim, and jimA, and George P., and Dieter, and on and on (there's lot's more...) feel too. I know how they feel at Novell (the employees). BUT ... as BP said, the "Marketing and PR" and "mindset/share" issues are the most serious of all. We emphasized that so much in the white paper we distributed at the annual meeting -- PERSONALLY to the BOD members that showed up, Marengi, and Schmidt. (You can see it on this thread many times - but I forget the post #'s) Know what I heard on Bloomberg Radio Today? An Adv. for a consulting group whose manager was screaming that they should get off their butt and get that "NT" (total), and Oracle network up and running! TV Next? |
