Toy, True its ancient history. I, for one, have stuffed MSFT stock under my mattress since 1987. You still seem to be under the impression that MSFT shareholders are a "one trick pony" and that if one owns MSFT stock, one would not own other tech stocks. For your information, a good investor buys whatever stocks that offer a decent return. If you look at my profile, it will give you an indication of what I see as potential winners. By the way, none of them are Canadian penny stocks. <g>

Toy, When you have a management in place that has driven the strategy and execution since 1991 and before, and had the success it has had despite the rapid changes we've seen in technology (the Internet, for example), the 1991 price is relevent. It wasn't dumb luck that got the stock where it is today, and it won't be dumb luck that keeps it climbing. INTCfan

Novell is a company that performed so poorly the stock price was quartered in value from around $32 in 94 to $8 in 97. It is definitely an accomplishment to recover from this type of disaster and NOVLs new managment should be proud. However, it is not the same as powering ahead over a 15 year period with continued earnings, revenue, and cash increases continually beating increased market expectations as MSFT has. There is no comparison between the two companies or stocks - MSFT is clearly the gorilla.
