Re: Developer Boxes

I am not sure what "program" Anne has found - when I applied for a developer
box thru
iSeries Services Network (really part of Partnerworld) I was told the under
$10k loaded developer box program had been stopped (mostly legal problems I
was told).
I did get a low end 270 with decent memory/disk & developer tools for 240
month on 2 year lease. Need decent company credit or refundable deposit.
Cannot use the box for commercial hosting - develop/demo only. Must be
working towards a product or supporting an existing product. Can get the
major software like MQ Series, WebSphere commerce for almost nothing in the
Partnerworld program.
I asked at Soundoff at last Common about the Developers Box - Buell Duncan
said it was active program - but others said had been terminated.
Hope Anne comes up with something better than current lease deal.
BTW-lease rates went up soon after I signed.
