Hi Scott - I hope you are feeling better. Yes that new building is stellar! I understand that it has an employee gym with all the newest weight lifting equipment, showers, changing rooms and other sport facilities. Also that new cafeteria is a big hit. I am told the food is quite good. These new facilities are well worth the investment as Novell's biggest assets are their employees. Novell does not really own the building but has the option to purchase their long term lease (ie. buy out clause) from the builder at a fixed price. They still own the land however. Did you fly in on the Novell charter plane or take a standard commercial flight? You can almost walk from the air port to their new building. I wonder if CEO Schmidt is qualified yet to fly the Novell airplane? You know he has been taking flying lessons.... EKS

A reality check on the movers of 1998 S&P500........ 1. Dell Computer 248.5% 2. Apple Computer 211.9% 3. EMC Corp. 209.8% 4. Lucent Tech. 175.4% 5. Asend Comm. 168.4% 6. Cisco Systems 149.7% 7. Providian Financial 149.0% 8. Unisys 148.2% 9.Novell 141.7% 10.Gap 138.1% Note: AAPL, UIS and NOVL are considered turnaround candidates. Thanks to Eric Schmidt and his great team of strategist, marketers, sales and R&D folks for performing in the top 2% of the S&P500 for 1998. No small feat, as NOVL rubs shoulders with DELL, EMC, LU, ASND, and CSCO. BTW, AOL will now be joining the S&P500, but it did have one heck of a 500%+ year in 1998. Looking forward to continued sucess in 1999! Humbly, QuadK
