I didn't realize that there were any Novell NetWare customers left
Funny, I thought I was one of the last Novell believers left, and I lost my religion on or about 1997. I remember trying to write a very simple Novell NLM. I was so confused, I didn't know which end was up. Obviously, I never got it working. I also remember trying to write a Windows Service about that time, and I didn't know which end was up either, but I could tell that Microsoft's development tools were FAR superior to whatever Novell was thinking about at that time. I wrote my first "Successful" Windows Service in 2001 based on .NET 1.0 beta 2 at that time. Just about the only thing I think I can't do at this time is to write an ISAPI .dll with .NET, AFAIK.
