Hi Jaroslav: >> "Fulfill your objective with a company holding a proven record of success". Took me a while to figure this out; I think their definition of "success" is "not being in Chapter 11 or 7".<< Heh, heh. I like people with a sense of humor <g>. Not bad. Tis a shame this whole thing unfolded as it did. Up until February of this year, I really, sincerely believed they would do much more than they did. You're probably right about long-term though. And like I've said of late, the ones who got it at 9 and below, "and" can afford to wait, certainly have a better chance of a decent ROI than the folk that got in prior (except for the shorts --- man, if there ever was a classic stock for a short --- Novell is/was/is? it). I never thought I'd be talking like this either Jaroslav. I hope you are one of the longs that fit into the above category, cause I sure don't <g>. But, MSFT isn't going to make it easy (or any easier) for them even now. I've sat in on many a MSFT dog and pony show, and I gotta tell ya', they really, REALLY stick it to Novell. Time will tell I guess. Meantime my accountant promised me that I would get the information I need to make a reasoned decision by Tuesday evening after the bell. Well see, and good luck. Regards, Joe...
