:) You are quite welcome. This board has all of a sudden died. I thought that big news on the Novell side would be better than hearing the bad news on MSFT's legal woes with the DOJ. But you decide what we should talk about. LOL!! Cheers folks Toy

Sure, Ed. We know what the proper Microphilic solution to Novell is. From the NYT article, nyt.com first in Toy's string: Schmidt said he still remembered the diplomatic tour of the industry he took soon after joining Novell and the courtesy call he made to Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash. "What should we do?" Schmidt recalls asking about Novell's travails. The Microsoft executives were politely noncommittal, although later one of Microsoft's top technical leaders said of the meeting with Schmidt, "All I could think of was to give him a gun to shoot himself." Very innovative solution, that. A popular view of the correct definition of "free market competition" among the friends of Bill. Everybody should give up and wait for NT2K, mysterious Merced, whatever, because Wintel is invincible! Now that we know Andy Grove's proper place in the pecking order, Wintel is stretching it, it's just Bill. He's taking us where we want to go! Except for the poor sailors on the U.S.S. Yorktown, but they didn't really want to go anywhere in the first place. Somehow, I doubt they laugh too much about that, though. Cheers, Dan.
