Re: In conclusion: IBM Spin Doctors on AS/400 Marketing

Al,

While you're kicking ass and taking names, I understand that hidden way
down in the depths of the v4r1 announcement is a demon called SSA which is
going to be given more powers (read, gonna co$t me more).  I just recieved
a fax this a.m. with a smattering of SSA and IFF I'm reading this right,
users are going to be taxed with yet another fee.  This time, we're going
to be saddled with BOTH MANDITORY support line (which is generally decent
folks!) and MANDITORY SUPPORT FEEs...which heretofore (as I recall) have
been part of the base licensing fees, (yes I know support line is extra!).
This is to say, if I want a cum tape, I have to have PAID for a SUPPORT
CONTRACT IN ADDITION to what I'm paying now?????

Needless to say the idea of yet more cut and charge doesn't really settle
my bowl of pasta too well...  SO, would someone please let me know what
the heck's going on here???   Frankly, I HOPE I'M WRONG! ...but I've been
right before...:)

What's goin on???
