Novell Map (pre-2004)

While in the Novell Bracknell (UK) office this week, I noticed that they had a map of the world in the entryway.

The map (bad photograph below) is interesting to me for two reasons:

1. The prominent status given to Svalbard, a small archipelego of islands (smaller than Iceland) that is owned by Norway. You can see it in the map floating to the east of Greenland and north of Norway.
2. The lines indicate the Novell network (I believe). If you follow the lines, it makes Provo Utah seem like the center of the Novell networking universe.

I think that this map was installed before year 2000, and I am certain that it is pre-2004, since that is when Novell moved its headquarters to Waltham, MA.
