Toy..don't be shy about laying it out now...I'll go for $36 @ y-end as Dr. S. has, I think, something up his sleeve that will knock our socks off. Which reminds me, I seem to have read something, somewhere, regarding a Dell/Novl sort of announcement but haven't seen/heard anything since. You think MSFT is turning some screws or am I just fantasizing about the true power of NW5 and the fear it is instilling?

What do you see for both earnings and sales for 1999? IMO it will be the growth in these numbers that will eventually lead the price higher. When do you think Novell will earn more than a $1.00 per share in the year? ...will those earnings still be driven 100% by NetWare sales or will the product mix be different. My guess is that (1) NetWare sales will still make up over 80% of Novell's total revenues for 1999 (2) total earnings per share for the year will be less than $0.55/share and (3) total revenue growth for the year will be less than 15% and will not exceed $1.5 billion. If the above is true, IMO I think Novell's stock price is closer to it's high at current levels than it's low. Good luck to all Novell investors and let's hope that CEO Schmidt can keep the company growing. EKS
