George,
I too disagree a bit with your perspective on certain poster's here on this board. We are fortunate to get solid and prolific news links by posters such as DJBEINO, and some others who interject points of views on NOVL's products and future. But I find it really strange for those who were so involved in bringing issues to NOVL's management, to suddenly turn against it, once management brings in someone as valuable as Eric Schmidt. Furthermore, they expected results to happen in a few months rather than more like 12-18 months. Novell isn't a portal or eCommerce company like NSCP, YHOO or AMZN, where mention of new portal deals with AOL, banks etc. cause their stocks to rocket 20+% a day, while little revenue, or profits no less, are even in sight. I mean, just look at AMZN.....we're selling CD's today, videos tomorrow, and toys for X-mas and the stock rockets further and further.
Yeah, its frustrating sometimes to see these rockets taking off all around us, while NOVL just chugs slowly upward, with a few sparks every now and then. But to bad mouth a company (or other bullish posters) after one actually sees changes coming into place is self defeating IMHO. Its denial that the past is past, and the present is the future.
As you know I take a neutral position as a poster and try not to get emotional in my opinions. Sometimes it doesn't work, but showing that effort counts. Either way, with easy access to the internet we unfortunately have to deal with all extremes.
Still humbly long,
