Re: AS/400 System Handbooks, COMMON Soundoff

Good news.  At soundoff yesterday, Neil got his chance to complain.
Evidently IBM had already gotten wind of some complaints and the pricing
has reverted back to the original price.

No news of any rebate for those of us who paid the inflated price....

Best laugh at soundoff is when Neil asked about a rebate and Tom Jarosh
handed him a $20!  Then later Neil gave him $20 Canadian back!  Way to go
Neil.....

BTW, Al spoke at soundoff.  Overall it was extremely positive, some
complaints still about marketing/merchandising and a few other
things.......well done as usual.

David, Don did get a slight plug-in for Midrange-L when he talked
about.....guess what.....CERTIFICATION.

Another wonderful idea brought to you by those brilliant thinkers in the
Admin. section...... but I already did my ranting and raving earlier in
the
year.... so no more..... Those folks will make money in spite of
everything
they can do...... The "Peter Principal" continues on.......
