I guaranty the CTO of Novell does not understand my problems. They are smarter than me, bigger bank account, larger vocab, more business acumen, etc, but they can not speak authoritativly to the issues affecting a ten person business. I am pro big business, life long Republican, but the CTO of Novell's world is not the average business in Hawaii. Hope this answers your question.
