<Off-topic> ToySoldier: Thanks for your reply and feedback. Glad to hear you are here full time. I emailed a message back to Jill of SI about them doing this, "registar now at $125, before we raise the price to $250 next month", and then when the end of the month came, they didn't raise the price, just moved the price raise out 1 more month. I told her "I thought this kind of intentional fooling to drum up business was very cheap and I would hope that they wouldn't continue it, as they now have advertisment revenue on their web page" She didn't like my reply, and just said, hey, "do you want us to raise the price" Go figure!!! They can't raise the price, you and I know that. Yahoo's message boards are free to use!! I mean, come on, people are economical. This system has better software, but some people just don't want to part with their beer money ;) Have a good weekend! QuadK

ToySoldier: Did you read the aritcles about Schmidt a few posts back? What about Schmidt's metadirectory news? Please comment on this paragraph he says here regarding increasing Netware 4. sales .......... Schmidt said that Novell is talking to a number of metadirectory providers after an intense debate within the company. He continues to see NDS as a key component of Novell's future and added that Novell has undergone a period of negative growth as it unwound the non-networking parts of its business. "The goal was to get us to a networking business that is stable and then begin to grow." He said the end of his first year marks "an inflection point." If you "take the viability issue off the table, which is where it is now" and you've done your triage, the real growth rate comes from product cycles and "NetWare 5 will increase the demand for NetWare 4." No, says Schmidt, I'm not smoking anything, "once customers see a new roadmap, they are more comfortable in extending the franchise and slowly and carefully moving forward. The software industry is a software futures market." Regards, QuadK
