- I have seen some one posted a question about the OS/2 requester,
- I think the question was "does the OS/2 requester come with Novell?".
- Well I just received version 3.11 of this very poor network OS and yes
- it did come with the OS/2 requester.
-
- Also I have been trying to keep up on the superior Operating systems
- like UNIX and it appears that Novell has snowed AT&T into selling its USL
- subsidiary. For along time I have watched AT&T slip into into novells hands
- its very sad. Thought AT&T had more brains than that, more backbone. I
- think one of the rumors was that AT&T would get 3% of novell's stock
- ooooooohhhhhhhh aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh what a thing to get, boy I'd be so excited
- I'd jump right out of my skin. Man am I envious. NOT!
-
- Now maybe if AT&T had bought Novell and then dismantled it slowly
- peice by peice that would be entertainment!
-
- Oh, I'm sure I will get all kinds of flames about this post but
- oh... well...
-
- We just got novell because our lan manager server got fried. So,
- its hard to imagine something worse than novell but lan manager comes real
- close. the switch to novell was decided by abunch of accountants not us
- computer people, figure that one out. the accounting dept argues that
- well the rest of the campus is going to novell so we should too (to be
- compatible). by this type of logic i understand that if the rest of the
- campus decides to jump off a cliff we should do likewise.
