RE: iNation privileges offer or Tax?

I poked around the ETG web site, and it looks like their CD's (including 
the discounted one that is linked to the IBM site) are aimed at sales 
people trying to sell iSeries.  So they aren't like brochures given to 
customers - they are like materials given to sales folks to help close 
sales.  In that light, $20 seems pretty reasonable, if it'll help close a 
big sale or two.

Brad,

I like your attitude, most of the time, but days like today I have a hard
time figuring out why.  You're capable of thoughtful, insightful
discussions.  But your replies on this thread are not an example of this.

I'm not going to get in a mud-slinging contest with you unless I have to. 
I
think the arguments that have been presented speak pretty clearly for
themselves, regardless of your's or my opinion on the subject.

So now IBM has you spending money to do their advertising.  Best of both
worlds for them.  (yes, I know IBM didn't put out the CD, but they were
involved.  Semantics.)

That's where we disagree, JT.  Don't put me in your position.  Thanks...
