Technology Stocks : Novell (NOVL) dirt cheap, good buy? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Thanks BP: If holding down expectations is Novell's goal, then little effort should be required. First Call has estimates at $0.02 for 98Q1 as of 12/01/97. This may be too high a threshold for Novell to meet in light of their previous announcement that revenues would be flat to lower than 97Q4. So, without some accounting magic, I think Novell will be hard pressed to meet current EPS. Is there any reason to believe that sales for the first quarter will be better than last quarter's sales?
