Fred -- I really like and respect Rudedog. He knows what is going on in the industry. He is also very good at foreseeing the direction of technology. He bailed novl last year which also says a lot about hid take on the mkts. He is upfront and honest which makes the info and opinion he provides valuable. He is THE person novl should have hired long ago-- actually if he would take Schmidts job I mortgage the house on this issue----- in the mean time its just a hold...;-]

Hello all....Italy has some great internet access in places for about $5-7 per hour but I've not had much time to read through all the posts I've missed just yet. IMO, the MSFT .NET strategy is an attempt to re-create that "one-vendor fits all" centralized computing environment they so strongly waged war against. The .NET strategy is a MSFT-centric solution (from desktop to server to services). I wouldn't mind getting into this some more when I get back. Later, Peter J Strifas

Hello Frederick, I'm catching up on posts, and figured that I would reply to this one to offer some observations and clarify some things ... > After having called for his head, I've been trying to get > Novell's COO to call me for the past few months - with no > luck. Wow ... imagine that ... he hasn't made the choice to call you! I wonder why ... of course it couldn't have anything to do with you! ;-) I know a number of people who have called Stewart, and he's returned their calls. But then you also seem to say that you are relying on "luck" in the above statement. I try not to rely on luck ... ;-) I'd suggest that maybe you examine your approach and attitude if you really want that return call. I'm guessing that you have given up calling? > Getting to speak with Gates BEFORE Stewart Nelson would be > interesting. Yes ... I"m sure it would be! ;-) > Do you know Scott Lemon inside Novell. He couldn't get > Nelson to call me. Why don't you see what you can do to > get Gates to call me. This is a completely inaccurate statement, or at least is worded to indicate that I even tried to "get Nelson to call" you. I never did any such thing. You see Fred, I put forth the challenge to you, as a professional, to contact him yourself. As I stated, if you really understand how to behave constructively and productively then I'm sure that anyone would return your call. If you have outlined why this call would be a benefit to them, or society, or whoever ... then they would return your call. Obviously, you have not made a very good case to Stewart yet ... Scott C.
