Re: Software Subscription Agreement

Funny you should ask.....

I just phoned my IBM contact yesterday and gave him the go-ahead.  It is quite a
jump in price on Jan. 1 (33 1/3%) so I felt I had to get it now.  We're on V4R2
and I am planning on going to V4R4 next year.  I chose the 3-year pay up front
plan which coincides with my 3 year lease on the box and I'll just add this
amount to the lease.
