Re: IBM Business Partner program

I don't understand it.  I went to the web-site someone mentioned a week or 
two ago for AS/400 developers.  (Was it Simon?)   Anyway, when I was done 
signing up at the "Free" level I then got a confirming e-mail saying I was 
now a Business Partner.  Since then I have gotten two or three packets.  I 
have no idea what I am now qualified for, excepting I now can use "IBM 
Business Partner" on my stationary and cards.  The whole thing surprised 
me some.

boy i'd like to know!  (about the business partner program in general) 
we've been all kinds of business partners, but are now too small.  or
last time i checked we were too small.  we were an ira until last year,
and we got the ax. now you have to have 10 employees.  we still need a
channel to purchase equipment thru, and we have one now, but it's not
the same.
