*Novell Netware seems to have gone the way of the dodo. It was a very good at file and print services, but I seem to remember that it was a nightmare for server based computing. Maybe that's why.

*damn.. I loved Netware 3.12. that was rock solid. I once saw a server with an uptime of 5 years... the only reason it wasn't longer was, we had to shut it down and move it to another part of the server room... by comparison, the NT4 servers were struggling to run due to certain, shall we say, questionable things. namely trying to use Lotus Notes to hold an entire building firms plans, quotes, brochures etc in 1 massive database.. and the insistance of the Graphics Dept of creating their pagemaker files (90Mb plus) on the server... (Pagemaker insisted at the time that it create it's temporary file where the file was created. so you ended up with it swapping 90Mb + files back and forth over the network instead of the local hard drive...)
