became part of a group of WP volunteer support people on CompuServe who
later migrated with WP to Novell and then to Corel in the mid- to late
1990s.
WP, and later Novell, brought us all into Utah once a year, and Corel had us
come to Ottawa for face-to-face time, product briefings from developers,
etc. Novell even did a Bahamas cruise for all us "Netwire" folks back in
1995. I still have the T-shirt!
I stopped doing volunteer support as the questions transitioned from issues
of features, functionality, and program error messages to issues of
networkng (especially Novell networking) issues and operating system-related
issues (like this thread).
