Mr. Tang /
Thank you for your message. I agree with your points.
We have had great press clippings on our Web page in the past. We
need to get them up again.
Examples include the February 14 ComputerWorld that reported Novell
has moved ahead of Lotus and Microsoft to take the top spot in
messaging and groupware market mindshare. In a comprehensive
March 3 cover story, InfoWorld concluded that "Novell's the One" in the
essential components of the network ranking the company head and
shoulders above networking solutions from Microsoft, Sun and IBM.

Hi,
I have been with NOVELL for over 2 years now as an investor, I don't
know a lot of things but I do know NOVELL is a fine company and that is
why I invest in NOVELL.
I have been observed the market attitude towards NOVELL, they are not
playing a fair game but again, partially because NOVELL does not
have a good defensive plan.
May I suggest you a thought, if you think it is not worth to try can you
tell me why but if is is worth a shot, I am glad to lend a thought
becuse we are in the same boat:
I read a lot of articles regarding NOVELL's image and Novell's products.
There are few positive articles from time to time but they are in
defferent magazines or news, people may see one but not seeing
others,
can you COLLECT all possible good articles once a week and issue them
as
a list (such as a list of www address) and put out as your HOT PRESS
from time to time? I believe most people who cares about NOVELL (good
or bad intention) will go to NOVELL adress's HOT PRESS to check out
from
time to time but none will really check all managines or news.
In a simple way, I hope NOVELL can take the lead to gather all force
that is friendly towards NOVELL's product and image and shoot out as
a united force once every week.
Too many bad publicities against NOVELL too little action NOVELL reacts
on them, so use other people's friendly opinions to go against other
people's unfriendly opinions is a fair game plan because the friendly
opinions are objective and they are not NOVELL's opinion.
I don't know how much would cost NOVELL to do this but one or two
people
to go on all new agents (to pay or not to pay) should be ample enough.
The small cost will yield large and positive results toward the market.
Remember, a united force is much stronger than a spreaded froce.
Regards.
