   Well, It's nice to meet somebody who remembers those heroic times :)   
      
   The company I'm working with now was distributor for WP back then   
   (early nineties). I joined them later, after the whole WP business   
   collapsed. I personally liked WP a lot. Novell also. I was Netware   
   admin for years and it was really good, much better than any other LAN   
   software.   
   This were the days :)
