	Remembering Novell's Ray Noorda - Network World
		Ray Noorda, who became known as the "father of network computing" for building Novell into a dominant LAN company in the 1980s and 1990s, is being remembered the day after his death as one of the industry's fiercest competitors and humblest contributors.
		Noorda, who died at the age of 82 due to complications from Alzheimer's disease at home in Orem, Utah, was raised by Dutch immigrants in Ogden, Utah during the Great Depression.
		'Uncle Ray,' as Noorda was called by Novell's employees, joined the company as president and CEO in 1983, at the behest of Jack Messman, a founder of Novell Data Systems and until recently its CEO, chairman and president.

		But, while the senior management Ray had brought into Novell in the late eighties were highly qualified managers who were steeped in industry experience, they were steeped in minicomputer industry management experience, not personal computer industry history making experience.
		Ray tried, but he found that they were not personal computer visionaries, and he could not call on them to do what Craig and Judith had done.
		Ray's management style was not particularly visionary, he was the deal maker, and a deal maker functions best when he keeps his hand close to his chest.

	Paul Kapustka's Blog: Ray Noorda, NetWare's leader, RIP
		While he didn't always make the right decisions, Noorda will no doubt be remembered by many for his efforts to build the interconnected local-area networking industry, which forever destroyed the big-iron thinking that previously dominated computing.
		Noorda, who struggled with Alzheimer's disease in the later years of his life (a condition that reportedly contributed to the management problems of his venture-investment group), had earlier led Novell from a bankrupt idea to a networking powerhouse with its flagship NetWare software.
		From a personal standpoint, Noorda was easily one of the most approachable and affable executives, not a small attribute to be remembered for in this era of outsized egos and over-important CEOs.
