WE89 -- we can hope. If the doc would just quietly get it on the auction block! Possibly we can find a great thrapyst for the officers and directors. Anyone saying it is not for sale is not in their correct mind..

That's certainly a possibility, WE89. Here's a totally unsubstantiated rumor that circulated amongst the rank and file for you to chew on: about 2 weeks before Bshare there was a heads up that we were going to announce something really big with CSCO. Most thought it was going to be official endorsement of NDS as directory platform of choice. Others felt that it might be even bigger... the rumor was a purchase. The follow-on rumor was that it fell through because in the negotiations CSCO couldn't provide a position suitable to the good Doctor's status so he scrapped it. There never was a major CSCO announcement, as had been planned. That's what the rumor was, I highly doubt there was any truth to that whatsoever. Here's my wild-assed guess: if anybody was gonna buy NOVL, it might be LU. Think about that. Then again, why would NOVL want to be bought? Don't say marketing; that's the kneejerk answer. There now, I've told you far more than you deserve to know :)
