What comes after the firetruck?
by Volker Weber
As you get older you lose many capabilities. As much as I'd love to ride a longboard, that has become way too dangerous for my bones.
But you gain something from watching the world around you. It's like a carousel. Firetruck, horse, motorcycle, car, ... and then firetruck, horse, motorcycle, car ... You don't have a time machine, and you still know the future.
About eleven years ago I went to a Groupwise conference. I knew for a fact that Novell was milking its customer base. But here they were, a rather small group of people very enthusiastic about their platform. There was a keynote, there were small features being added to the product. There was a beta of Groupwise 7, etc.
I don't make this carousel go around. I can't stop it. But I do know what comes after the firetruck.

Revisits previous post about Keep.Works for a link..........
had the same thought watching the community 😟
Well said. Another lesson learned over the years: What goes up, must come down.
But Groupwise is still supported and activly developed. There were several releases after Groupwise 7. So i do not get your point?
Sadly you don't. But you will, eventually.
This post isn't necessarily about novell. I don't think :)
I like Ionesco's Rhinoceros. It reflects nicely on this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_(play)
