He says, "Why are you going to school? Why don't you sign your band with our record label?" I thought about it over the night. I hear: "You are going to be great at music. However you are going to make more money with Computers than Music". I decided to go with Computer Science. In 1996 - 1997, I travelled to Utah again, this time working for Novell, Networking, building web server for your internet. I met the Architects of Novell Directory Services, user login, to your organization, later to be called, LDAP. The design pattern to be copied by Microsoft later, your windows login, username and password. The Novell Web Servers, were then partnered with Netscape Application Servers, a company called Novonyx.
