Ray Noorda, one of networking's foremost pioneers, died Monday at his home in Orem Utah. He was 82.
I interviewed Ray many times in the late eighties and early nineties when Novell NetWare, which utterly dominated PC networking, had a full head of steam. Ray, as everyone called him, was a visionary and helped give rise to bustling tech community in the greater Salt Lake area. He was also a humble man who wanted to create jobs for people. And he did - 12,000 of them at Novell's zenith.
