Hello Frederick,

I did not attempt to make any comment that Paul was a plant. I was simply trying to say that among all the useless spew on this thread, and all of the bitching, Paul had some very good contributions which were subtle and seemed to be missed ...

I agree completely ...

I've been extremely busy lately, and have been unable to participate as much as I would like. I've had the flu for the last week and have been here lying in bed trying to catch up on reading. Some of the threads I follow had 500+ unread posts! Scary, but I'm almost caught up.

It's been facinating to watch the market recently, and to see the progress that Novell has made. From my perspective the company has made a very good turn, and the overall moral of the company seems to be really good. The week before Christmas I got to visit the new San Jose facility ... WOW! I'm impressed that the people controlling the company have understood that the environment provided to the employees - both physical and through management - directly relates to moral and productivity. It's an amazing campus, and the employees that I talked to had very positive things to say. Almost made me think I was working at Apple, Sun, Netscape, or Digital! ;-)

I still need to figured out how a couple of things are going to pan out in the industry ... AOL/Netscape/Sun ... the Microsoft Trial ... in the mean time I've been looking into numerous new technology stocks ... overall having fun!

> Happy New Year.

Likewise ... I look forward to 1999!
