Well yeah, if you're running DOS.  It has no place in a network where the
workstations are running Windows 95 or something more current.

Having maintained Novell networks for three years, and having converted
maybe 100 sites from Novell to NT, I stand firm in saying it has no place on
a current production network.  Typically service calls are reduced to 1/3 or
fewer when Novell is eliminated.

I won't even interview with a company that's running Novell servers.  If
they didn't have the savvy to ditch them by 1998, it's a sign of severe
myopia on the part of management, and implies other more serious problems in
the workplace.
