Trying to keep this brief and I don't want to carry this to NOVL board... <<I think one could say that NW 5.0 is Novell's G3 upgrade cycle and all the hot new products like NDS for NT, BorderManager, etc. are the iMac-type sauce.>> But Apple did not develop the definite anger and scorn from Systems Admins that Novell has. A Mac goes down and it costs a few hours. A Netware server goes down and not only do you have the wrath of the clients, but you also risk losing their data. Of course I've always heard that Netware has a greater user base than NT by far, but I have not looked at the latest stats. The MSFT Hydra is pumping a lot of cash into the NT head. You think their picking on Apple? They're looking to rip Novell apart!!!!!! However, that was a nice tip. I'll look into it. -Bill_H

Is it possible that the Wintel camp is spreading misinformation to counter Apple's day in the sun? If Apple gets popular, it will hurt Microsoft. I may be way off but I do entertain the possibility that Windows' days may be numbered. I never was impressed with Jobs but he has done a tremendous job and he deserves the credit without any reservation. But right now, I am thinking of what comes after Jobs. He will be a very tough act to follow. I think it will be very difficult to find someone with the same "love" for the company to succeed him. I don't trade, as I mentioned a long time ago, and I'm holding for Apple to be near historical highs next year.
