Apple Computer Inc and Novell Inc have been discussing the possibility of a merger between the two companies according to the San Jose Mercury News. Apple declined to comment on the report, and Novell denied it, saying that We’re always in industry discussions with them, but we’re not having discussions with them about merging, but the paper says that the talks between Apple chairman John Sculley and Novell chairman Ray Noorda were a closely-guarded secret and known only by an elite group of senior executives at the two firms. The future of Novell is an oft-discussed issue because of Ray Noorda’s age he is in his late 60s.
