Hi George. >>"Novell is an industry leader" with an emphasis on is. Hello...hello!!!<<

Uhh..... yeah, right... <s>. The only question I would ask him is why this interview is only in a Novell [strictly] publication, and not in any of the mainstay rags. I'd be more impressed if I saw it in Computerworld, or CRN, or PC Week.

Here's some (IMVHO) more uhhh... "constructive" links for Novell investors (especially for use with friends of ours like Bradford):

sec.gov
New "small claims arbitration clinic" for the small investor.

sec.gov
SEC Complaint Center.

sec.gov
SEC Enforcement Division Website.

Regards,

Joe...<New baby, eh? Congrats!>

PS: Go figure ... ALL the techs rebound today (bigtime), and what does NOVL do? ..... why, go south naturally ....

Hi George,

Done. For whatever good it will do.

I really don't see anything in the interview that suggests that Novell is going to do anything substancially different from what they already know isn't working. Run a few ads in the WSJ, put up a few banners on the internet (that sure helped last quarter), talk to a few customers that will tell them what they want to hear, then go back to the office and put the old head back up where it was.

I think they should kick John out of the office for a week to do some cold calling. If he doesn't have a brief case full of orders from new customers and some new ideas on marketing when he gets back, they should fire him.

Regards,

Don
