I have been reading all the postings on this board about Digital-Me, and although the digital-Me has a TON of potential, I think that you all might be giving Digital-Me a lot to live up to. Novell's Digitial-Me primary objective is to rationalize an Internet user down to one manageable Digital Personna. In other words, Digital Me will manage all of a user's various user IDs that he/she has built up over the months/years of surfing the Internet. Extensions to this concept/technology will allow the user account in Digital Me to provide authorized access by others to your contact information and possibly Digital Me will allow a user to print to Internet/NDS defined printers. I first want to see Novell put a product AND service portal on the Internet before I start dreaming about what wild and wonderful things Digital Me will provide. I am worried that Novell - because of their over-commitment to BUSINESS FOCUS - will not actual dive into the Service Portal arena. I am afraid that Novell might simply develop the underlying technology and simply sell a solution that others will use to create a Service Portal (and make tons of cash on). I personally would like to see Novell involved in some way in the rollout and operation of an Internet accessible portal of Digital Me. But I am afraid that they are afraid to go that far with this solution. Maybe I am wrong on this thought. But I think we all must figure out how Digital Me will crawl before we could dream about how it will run. Toy

Best evangelist for DigitalMe --- school children I think that if Novell were to develop a version of digitalme for the schools which allowed children to control their identity in ways that convinced parents of the safety of giving their children access to the internet, then we could get Senator Hatch to be the evangelist. Because frankly digitalme solves many problems of personal identity security and privacy. Novell already has a program in place where they work with schools. Many schools have Netware networks with internet ports.
