Re: CODE400 4 Free

Edmund:

This is a very noble idea.  However, you still need to allow participants to 
buy pieces.  Some
may want only Visual Age Java and other may just want the VA RPG etc.  I can 
understand the "copy
cat" idea of MS visual studio (which I do like).   But MS still allows 
individual pieces and
prices the MS Visual Studio attractively.  I just wish IBM comes up with some 
original ideas than
just mimicking MS :-)
