In reply to Stefan Ring. That makes more sense...

It’s actually saying “We like being netted by Captain Netware”. It’s a play on words and very similar to “going online” in German.

Yes, of course. 🙂 I installed Netware 4.12 on real hardware not long ago to restore a bunch of old DLT tapes I found. I had to get Arcserve loaded which was a challenge in itself since it only works with a few specific SCSI adapters but in the end I was able to successfully restore the tapes. It was backups from a corporate file server complete with home directories containing 128 kbps MP3s and dancing baby gifs, straight out of the 90s.

I still remember Novell Netware Server… I’ve reinstalled an venerable 4.11 on vmware just for fun not so long time ago…

Remember when IPX/SPX was a thing?

Of course! Used it for multiplayer Doom in the 90s. Good times.
