Novell Internet Professional... hmmmm this from a company that didn't even
offer a TCP/IP stack for Netware until everyone else had one first.
Microsoft "integrating" .. why does that sound so familiar but very scary
at the same time. :)
Netscape has more of a chance at getting "market share" on training, but
why should a software company give Internet training? What are they going
to train you to do, use a Browser or ftp? *laugh*
If someone wants to offer real Internet training, why not teach the
fundamentals of TCP/IP over WAN Protocols and routing. Desktop TCP/IP
training can be put on a $19.95 video tape seminar.
