I was very skeptical about it but had an issue with wearing glasses because I didn't like the way it looked on me and hated wearing contact lenses.
I did a lot of research and everything points to one major factor. It's all about WHO does the surgery and the reputation of the company.
I had it done by TLC here in Moncton and the surgeon had a lot of experience, and I knew people who had it done by her.
A lot of places will lower the cost because the surgeon isn't as experienced, or the machine uses the same blade more than once, and a lot of other small things that you don't think of.
I've been 6 months and my gf just had hers done and she is in great shape as well.
I recommend it, but go for a place that has a good rep. TLC is far better than others!
Novell has been around a long time and will continue to be around a long time regardless of what any Linux/NT/200 people may think.
The company I work for is a pure Novell shop. We run Groupwise for our email, and plenty of other Novell products and we do extremely well. In fact, Novell even powers our web presence. We will be upgrading from Netware 5 to Netware 6 this year.
It IS a real OS. Standalone server sits in my server room and runs all of it's apps very well. It's a hell of a lot more stable than any 2K/NT box and in many ways, just as stable as a Unix box. I won't say better, but I will say it does a good job.
I hate it when people say that Novell is dead and dying. They've been around a long time and they are still around because they always make a decent product and require very little maintenance, unlike the MS OSes out there.
Telling them money is the only issue may not make a whole lot of difference.
I just recently had the amount of work, responsibility, and stress tripled from what it was before. I had a MAJOR problem taking on that much more responsibility without being compensated properly. They then handed me an $1800/yr raise.
When I spoke to them about money, they told me I should be happy with what I got, and that I earned more than many people do in the same field.
I have since started looking for work elsewhere but don't just assume that because money is the only issue, they'll keep you around or work with you.
Ok. I'm not one to normally post replies to posts on here but this one was too good to be true.
How the hell can you call that a review? Just because your PC is crap doesn't mean the game is crap.
I've read enough posts in here to know that there's some people who like the game and those who don't. Fine. That's understandable. But to say a game is flying piece of doggie-doo without even playing the ACTUAL game is ridiculous.
You sound just like a friend of mine. Every single piece of software & hardware he buys/installs he says is "crap" if it doesn't work within 15 minutes of installing it. Regardless of how long you spent trying to get the game working, you can't possibly call the gameplay crap when you didn't play the game. That's just your immature ignorance doing a little piss dance because you're mad about a bad piece of software. We all know the woes of software being published before it's stable and ready for release. Was that the case here? Probably. And I know how frustrating it can be wanting to try out something you've been waiting for, but don't assume your issues are the same as everyone elses.
I haven't played the game yet but I do intend on buying it as my wife loves the Myst games. Will my system run it? I hope so, and I will take heed to your install problems, but by no means will your little bitch session prevent me from buying a game.
Someone said if you want games to work on old hardware, play old games, was right. Don't expect brand spanking new games to work on old crappy computers.

That's my biggest complaint with Novell is the damn prices. Cripes. When I was teaching at a local college here we were looking at purchasing Netware 5, and the licensing was outrageous. I couldn't believe how much they wanted for a 50 user license. I could buy a small car for that

Well, I can't agree with most of these posts who say that Novell is dead. Yeah. Novell & Netware aren't exactly on the high ranks of NOS's anymore, but they are far from being shot in the dark and dead.
I work in a Netware 5 environment and we have run Netware here since v3.11 and they have absolutely no intentions of ever switching to Linux, NT, or any other OS. Netware has always performed beautifully and NT won't scale to the size and stability that we need. Linux is a great OS and I love it, but the work required to change our corrugated cardboard system here to Linux would be way too expensive.
Norampac (the company I work for) is very dedicated to staying with Novell & Netware and I imagine there are plenty of other companies that are out there that are in the same situation. Yes, perhaps other companies are producing products that can do things in the same fashion, but that doesn't mean the company is dead. Novell produces some extremely reliable and rock solid software and the companies out there using it, know that.
Don't say a company is dead just because they're old.
Ok... After reading some of the comments here... I have one question. What is the big deal???
Like cripes folks. Take a pill. So what. So what if it tallies up the amount of web sites you go to that use their software. I think they have the right to know if you ask me. They're not taking down credit card numbers, or people's names or the names of your kids, the schools they go to or anything thats relevant to anyone but them.
I think the big problem here is that people are so dammned paranoid about "big brother" watching you. Like get a grip. I mean, sure. I'm concerned about my privacy on the internet but I think this is absurd.
I've seen dozens of articles about privacy on the internet and people being concerned about if they are being tracked or watched. Like the whole Real Networks thing. So what if they want to know what music you listen to. If they're using that information to send me information on stuff that I might like, do it.
CDNow keeps track of the CD's you've bought from them and brings up selections that it thinks I might like. Is that an invasion of my privacy? No. It's quality service if you ask me.
I think people should stop being so paranoid and realize that not everyone is out to try and get them. I read these comments and that's what it sounds like. Everyone is so scared that somewhere out there, someone knows that you went to the Comedy Central Homepage to look up stuff on South Park. Why do you care? If you walk into a store and pick up a south park magazine, are you scared to death of the cashier who's looking at you?
I know I'll be flamed because there's not a direct connection between the examples I gave and this comet issue. So what. It all goes around the same thing. People hear so many things about the internet and how it's "so insecure" and how "you're being watched", and you have to be careful about what you say and who you talk to. Man, get over it. I've been using the net for years, before the web even existed and I have never had any issues with privacy. I'm not a tool. I know there's stuff going on behind my back thaqt I don't know about but I take precautions. I know what to do and what not to do but I do it from what I believe is within reason. Not paranoia.
Those of you who are scared to death because a web site puts a cookie on your machine, or a website that asks you for an email address should realize if you stopped thinking about how everything is "against" you, you might see how these things work for you.
And the funny thing is, people who are geeks like us know all about all of this stuff, and get paranoid and scared or whatever. But the people who don't know any better, never hear anything and never get bothered by it. My mom uses the internet and she's about as net-literate as my goldfish and SHE never has problems.
It's not going to hold up. As far as I am concerned the entire issue is bogus. I mean, it's like the other posts have said, this has been going on for years and they're only starting to do something about it now?
I mean, IRC is a hard medium to crack down on because of it's nature. There's too many different networks, too many users, too many channels, and not enough "concrete" evidence to hold anyone. It's just smoke and mirrors nothing more.
