I would like to apologize...

[Steve Johnson]

Very well said. 

How about a rousing round of "mac vs pc" for old times sake?  :)

Subject: I would like to apologize...

I would like to formally apologize to the members of KCLUG and to Jonathan.
Our discussion got way out of hand and off topic. Being still very new to
this group, I realize I'm not making a very good impression. I've probably
made quite a few enemies (in fact I've already been flamed by someone from
this group. Albeit, I think he got me confused with Jonathan), when in fact
that's the opposite reason I subscribed to this group. I said some things
out of frustration that wasn't called for. If Jonathan believes that NT is
better, that's fine. He has a right to his own opinions. Like I said in a
prior post, I don't doubt that Jonathan has had bad experiences with Netware
to warrant his opinion, no system is perfect. However, I would like the
state for the record Jonathan, that since you haven't used Netware 5.x
recently, perhaps you should try it before you dog it. Who knows you might
change your opinion, but if Novell has left such a bad taste in your mouth
that you couldn't stomach the thought of using it, well to each their own.

I don't know what it is that sparks such heated controversy with us Techies.
Netware vs. NT, Internet Explorer vs. Netscape, Microsoft vs. Linux, Bash
vs. Korn, Vim vs. Emacs, why do these topics bring out the worst in us? Why
do we hold these programs so dear to ourselves that we take an opposite
opinion as an insult and a personal challenge?

Once again, to the group, to Jonathan, I'm sorry.
