I really think that it's not the buyer's out there that keeps this thing above 8........It appears to me that it is being held up there by some invisible string......there sure is a LOT of selling going on....but the price sticks at 8-8 1/16.........hmmmmmmmm (from the "Things that make you go Hmmmmm" column) LL

Hi BP: Have you seen the black and red game board ads that Novell is placing in PC magazines? What great low tech, no tech, no information, chest slapping fun. Wow! A fifties game board with jigsaw puzzle pieces. The medium is the message: Can you take the excitement, the back to the furure look, with not one fact or mention of any product(what's hot- nothing in general?), technology, or comment from any excited person (are any out there? does anybody care?). This ad campaign mounted by Slitz? and company is really a speeding silver snail slug. Did Eric Sahmidt say in his conference call that Novell is looking to pay for a company with products to give to VAR's to sell? How about acquiring a Madison Avenue ad agency? Actually BP, in your posts you exhibit more excitement than all of the ad campaigns I have seen Novell put out for the last three years combined. Keep up the good work. You should be on their payroll (as Joe before you)! Thanks, Larry I am a shareholder and appreciate your work.
