Don. No, no, no! What makes you think this is bugging *ME*? You know how I feel about you (in a number of posts I've made about your "style", i.e. GOOD). No, no. I'm in total agreement. Geez. Yeah, you'd be correct (about the bugging) if it were during 1996 and before. But nooooo, not since February of 97. Oh, no. I too once had a 6 figure investment, and the motivation behind the "white paper" was the centerpiece of what you just wrote in this post. I go to many "MSFT" presentations (I've spoken about that here in the past). Man, you can't believe how they trash Novell, and how they mesmerize the clients that attend. And, I'm sitting there knowing full well what a load of bullsh*t they're throwing out, .... but the customers "eat it up".

That's why I said upthread, it was ALL spelled out for them in the "white paper" we gave them (on a silver platter). Hey... I get paid big $$$ for that kind of work. They got it for nothing ... and they did nothing. Oh yeah, I'm gonna hear from someone here they hired Slitz and Chris Stone from OMG, and yadda, yadda, yadda ....

But, hey ... "where's the beef" baby? I don't see it. Like I said to Fred above ... "yeah ... that's a fair assessment --- So, now what?".

It's always wait, and wait, and wait some more. Feh! And now, we all get labled as "whiners". Well, that's okay. So I'm a whiner now.

Show me some sh*t and I'll stop whining. That's why I p*ssed off Marengi and Bradford (their lawyer) tried to muscle me. Didn't work.
Rolls right off my back. They don't impress me one bit.

IMVHO:

You'd be bugging Jerry, BJP1946, and Fred IMO, but I *think* I can say with some relative assurance, that you certainly aren't bugging me, nor Paul, nor Salah, nor Jack Whitley, nor VK, nor jimA, nor (probably not even Ghassan), and a whole bunch of other folk to numerous to mention (in addition to the "quiet ones" who read this thread daily). Which, BTW "used to" include the media (but I think they lost interest back in August, when Novell said for the upmteenth time --- "Ve' are NOT for sale"!

Media such as this bbs should IMHO always remain a platform for free exchange of opinions. You go guy! <g>.

Regards,

Joe...<All I'm doing now is looking at it as I see it. They *still* haven't shown me anything ... "with followup">

And furthermore <G> .... Does anybody know where Elmo Gregory went to?

He was a most valued person also. He seems to have just gotten totally fed up.
