Re: BIG/bad news from IBM

Chuck,

Unfortunately what blows IS netware.  The /400 now does a better job at file 
and print services.  I am living the netware lie!  We are stuck with GroupWise 
5.2, the be all, end all, email package that is little improved over it's 
previous version.  Let's see, GPF when trying to view from their notify app 
(when it decides to start)?  Web Server that runs for all of 15 minutes before 
abending the server.  A very less than seemless conversion from the previous 
release that hoses all personal groups and macros.  Netwares answer:  Wow, 
never heard of this.  Shame is, 2 other shops I work with have reported all 3 
problems.  I cannot wait for IBM to buy them so that Groupwise goes AWAY!

(I'm feeling much better now...)
