[lug] OT: netware

[Tony Dyson]

I've thought for a while that Novell's biggest "mistake" was making 3.11 
& 3.12 so good that many of their users had no reason to upgrade. It was 
about as temperamental as a hammer.

Five years ago I worked in a shop with Novell LAN servers & an HP 9000 
for the "big" database. They all ran like clocks. Then we got a new IT 
Director who wanted everything moved onto Windows. I knew it was time to 
leave ;-)
