Pruguy: <<why do u bring up AOL here....this is no aol...I made 5 timees my money on aol because its a market dominator...I am long novl but I can't think of one thing it has inb common with AOL>> Well, I would venture to say that I believe NOVL will share something in common with AOL. That's the ability to become a "market dominator", in NOVL's case, of Network Operating Systems and their related products (e.g. its maturing and evolving line of Directory Service's, ZenWorks, BorderManager, JAVA Virtual Machine etc.). I anticipate that these products will become commonly used by most ISP, IT businesses, telephony companies, and any other business that relies on network solutions to manage their operations efficiently. I would appreciate you thoughts on what you see in store for NOVL as it goes forward with Schmidt's business plans (products, growth, competition, etc). Hopefully NOVL will also pick up another trait in common with AOL. The ability to appreciate its stock price multiple many times over as AOL has done. Regards, QuadK
