- Welp, the rumor is based on a conversation with a gent in tech support
- for a vendor of unix and novell connection products (Hi Micheal!) and
- he claims this was told to him 'by a buddy of his' and this happened over
- a year ago. Now, the novellian in question got lotsa funny looks from
- the unix crowd in the room, and odds are they scrapped the idea
- BEFORE brining Unixware to market.

- MS-DOS - it's not marc@milestn.mil.wi.us is your problem, not mine!
- my problem! If it was said on UseNet, it must be true.
- Unix - It's a nice place to live, but you don't want to visit there.
