Ohh poor people.

I remember when VAX-clusters got available. (You did'nt have
a cluster to increase relability 'cause those vax'es never crached).

Clusters could consist of *ANY* vaxes, the only thing
was that VMS releases was recommended to be one or two steps
apart.

And clusters consisted of *any* vaxes. And they worked. And this
happened (for me) at 1986 . Some clusters are still alive since
then, the cluster never dies, but the members are all exchanged.

So i have one (nasty) question:
Why should i consider novell sft when they seems to
be more then 10 years behind ???
