Paul, I agree that overtime, performance issues regarding JAVA apps will improve. That's the beauty of technology...it only gets better.

I have sent in my request to NOVL for a beta copy of their NetWare 5.0. Can't wait to get hold of it and try it out on our network.
No matter what, I still consider myself one of those NOVL loyalists. Question is, how many more like me are there out there ?....hopefully enough to push this stock thru the roof once and for all.

Regardless of my like for NetWare, this company's (which is the 2nd or 3rd largest NetWare shop in Canada) aim is to migrate towards NT.

Marketing at Novell Canada has to one way or another entice this company to migrate to NetWare 5.0 if they don't want to see the 400+ odd NetWare 3.11 servers move to NT which is bound to happen by the year 2000 (since there is no Y2K patch available). Novell still has time.

I wish they would send me enough NetWare 4.x liceneses so that I can distribute them to the appropriate departments free of charge. Get them hooked to NetWare 4.x and hopefully everything else will follow.
I don't mind getting a copy of Managewise either so that we can monitor the servers over the WAN and show the Telecom department that it is just as good as HP's OpenView ?.

V.K

P.S If this sounds like a plea, it is. I support NOVL and do hope they succeed even though I call this stock the mother of all dogs. After all, that's how it has been behaving over the last three years.
