Message-id:

Remember that commercial against drugs:

Picture of frying pan with an egg in it -

the egg..."This is your brain."

When the frying pan heats up - "This is your brain on drugs."

Well lets call a spade a spade......

Corporate IT/IS execs have to be on drugs to bank their entire technology enterprise on NT going forward. As the power of Internet Wave 2 increases NT systems and the managers that support them will all be acting like they're on drugs.

"This is the internet....." - the stove, the power etc.

"This is NT....." - this little brittle frying pan....

"This is your enterprise..." - an egg drops into the NT frying pan.

"This is your enterprise on drugs...." - the internet heating up with your beloeved enterprise "egg" in this not ready for Prime-Time little/brittle NT frying pan.

Hi all I just bought some novell, first time for me. I feel for all the people who were in it much much higher and have stayed long and suffered. Do you think it will double from these low levels, in the next six months or so? The p/e seems mighty cheap for a company that just made a major deal with the King, Cisco.
