Duke: I would think that the CEO or CFO would hold some analyst meetings to discuss the outlook over the next two quarters. Shouldn't they be tooting their own horn, or would that not work since they have had so many problems in the past? Another way of looking at it is let time and earnings do the work, then they will eventually beat down Novell's door. I'm just not familiar with an analyst taking the word of a shareholder off the street, although it sounds novel(l). Quad-K

Ahhhh... DUKE. PMFJI. Now you're getting to "one" of the root causes of the ahem... problem. You see, Jim Tolenen, thier illustrious CFO (for a looooooooooooooooooooooonnnnng time now), is and should be the one that should be doing that job. That's why their were rumors back when that he was going to be "dumped". But, nooooooooooooo, didn't happen. Wonder why? Ties to the BOD maybe? Tried to dump them suckers too at the annual meeting, but nooooooooooooo, can't blow them out with dyno-mite <g>. Gave em' a "white paper" with "all the instructions on it on how to be a successful company again", but, nooooooooooooooo what did they do with it? Nooooooooooooooothing. That's why NOVL is bobbing and bobbing and they've lost their "cred" with the street, analysts, and well, the industry in general. Joe...
