1. JUST MY OPINION ON THE IBM ONLINE INFORMATION CENTER 

Ahhh, The IBM Information Center, the oracle of all knowledge great and
small for the IBM iSeries. The center of the universe for iSeries techies
and managers. Wouldn't it be great if you could go to the Infocenter and
actually find what you were looking for?

I, for one, have had it! The IBM InfoCenter site, while containing the great
nuggets of truth, is the dunghill of Web design and functionality.

The Java code is VERY Slow and VERY flakey. The search capability, if it
works at all, is ok, but it's very limited.

I have made the personal decision to Google my way to the iSeries
information I need. It's much faster and much better. Not only does it tell
me the things IBM wants me to know about a topic, but it also brings up
other content such as iSeries Network articles.

Dear Mr. IBM, I suspect that you actually have the resources and knowledge
to fix this thing. So please spend a little of that cash on hand and fix the
iSeries InfoCenter!

I think it's fairly well universally accepted that InfoCenter isn't.

The "dunghill of Web design and functionality" statement cracked me up.  I
know long-term total frustration when I read it. <g>
