No complaining here about RDi or developer workstation pricing here.
However, I will admit to doing many things to keep auditors happy or not
be in violation of corporate security standards. Management will do the
hula to correct an audit exception or a security standard exception. I
figure those exceptions carry about 100x the purchasing power of yours
truly. Do not assume this means I think it makes good business
sense.....

And even though we do not allow much access to the IFS when auditors
come to the line in their script that says "Are you running anti-virus
software on ALL your servers?" It's a lot easier to just say yes than
try and explain why your iSeries does not need one. That is if the price
is reasonable.

And yet on this very list I hear folks complaining about $150 a seat for

RDi, or that it's too expensive to buy an $800 workstation for
development. I find it hard to justify i5/OS software that's not needed

to assuage an auditor and then not supply developers with the very best
in hardware and software.

Anyway, just me.
