Topic of Choice

• Novell NetWare is the network operating system
  (NOS) that I teach and work with everyday. I
  believe it to be a very secure NOS. It is my
  hope that others will come to realize how
  dependable it can be.

COI problems/challenges

• My biggest challenge was deciphering each section
  and figuring out how the COI went together. To
  me it was like a puzzle that had to be carefully
  put together. Once I understood, it fell into
  place nicely.

Do it all over again?

• I plan on expanding my COI further. My plans are
  to put it into production in my NetWare class.
  So, I benefited from this tremendously.
