Duke, I totally agree. Novell was a lumbering giant that never could figure out how to respond to the many market threats at the time. Novell did have some visionary leaders but they had severe problems getting the rank-and-file to buy into the vision; they could never agree among themselves how to pull out of the slump. They had even less of an idea what to do with USL than AT&T did. When Noorda got the idea that it would be cool to build a desktop operating system using this new Linux thing, the USL guys thought he was nuts to threaten the cash cow Unix royalty stream like that. Novell got caught napping both by Microsoft and by Sun, no doubt about it. I just figured y'all would like another punching bag. :-) --Bob
