I dont think I have that much influence anyway Scott but its too late - I already suggested to them that they should change their name. I dont think it would be possible now anyway as likely thousands have already signed up for the service. It is a good first try for the team. I think they should have spent more time researching how the other freemail systems operate though. It looks like a lot of basics are missing or not Internet ergonomic. I know it time they will clean it up, but the our suggestions might help them point out the larger weaknesses. I agree with you that the Utah boys and girls are too innocent to have realized the gutter connotation that the name implies. But also, the name is a bit off the mark and it also potentially stovepipes their email service because of the term "BOX" - meaning mailbox. It is possible that this email community can possibly be expanded or even tied into other NDS-Enabled services. The name would then not reflect these new services. As they say: THERE IS A LOT IN A NAME! I am one who believes the name is a critical marketing factor. NOVL hit the mark dead-on with "Digital-Me"!!! That is an incredible name with so much future potential and no incorrect or gutter connotations. MYREALBOX - just too much wrong with that name Scott. Its best they change it now if they can. They may pay the political/marketing price later if this service catches on like fire - as I suspect it will. Just my thoughts. Toy

Scott, no harm intended, I respect and appreciate your and friends technical commentary on this thread. It just hurts seeing the stock laying on the 20 +/- when there are so many great things about NOVELL, except the glitzy kinda stuff necessary today that sells everything from dog food to mortuary services to Joe Q........its my humble opinion that when wall street thinks it can BS Joe 6 pack and his investment portfolio then Novell stock will move up,product be dammed. ggggggg, just a thought,gggggggg, Regards, Waldy
