Maybe, but Novell sucks.  Until of course they release the inevitable
Novell Linux Server Edition,  then Novell will rock!  And when they port
NDS to OpenLDAP + IBM SLAPI (ITS#2073) I might actually consider using
their products.

Woo Hoo! Nice to see someone actually still uses Irix.  Given SGI's
financials I was starting to wonder if they had any users left.

If they use Mac OS wouldn't they win all home games but loose all games
held at someone else's stadium?

I'm terrified of Bob, and I think Tisch is a god.  Huh, this coffee
smells funny...

Sure, just electrify the whole field.  You know you've one when the
smoke clears.

Hmmm, I doubt it.

I think I've seen that MAC on a Linksys card!
