"feet modeled on the intricate design of gecko toes"
Really? "Intricate design"? Not "configuration" or just "complexity"? Come on! This is Slashdot!! Gecko feet aren't "designed"! The robot's feet are designed, but the geckos' are not. They evolved.
Apple removes sharing and burning restrictions from iTunes (don't play nice with us, we won't play nice with you!)
Loss of revenue for record company.
Record company crawls back to Apple, begging and pleading. Jobs negotiates new terms, and record company has worse deal (lower price and/or lower percentage) than now.

Newton Won't Die

Yes, it can be connected to a PC via serial cable. Last I tried the Newton Connection Utilities (NCU), it was still working on Win2k.
Servers only oferring file and print services are only relevant to very small LANS.
I would argue that this is only relevent in LARGE installations where you have multiple boxes dedicated to task.
But surely if Linux and the BSD's are competition for NT they are even greater competition for Netware on small sites.
Competition in small sites primarily.
Will I ever again specify Netware?
I know I certainly will. Of course, cost is always a concern, but IntraNetware for Small Business (IWSB) offers everything a small company needs to get started, including a slick setup process. It includes Netware OS (file & print), GroupWise (mail, group calendaring, document management), Arcserve (backups), Inoculan (anti-virus), and a couple of other goodies. All for less than NT Small Business Server.
I believe this is where LDAP should come in
LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a specification to allow ACCESS to directories such as NDS (or ActiveDirectory, etc). Not that competition isn't a good thing, but why have a competitor? NDS is just about everywhere, now. It's available for NT, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, and OS/390. I suspect Novell will release it Real-Soon-Now for Linux.

...and has since IntraNetware 4.11 released, as well as an XConsole. I can't count the number of times I've had to Telnet into a server to correct the IPX addressing so that it would work.
Of course, Netware itself could be easier to configure, but then again, there's always the trade off of ease-of-use and power.
