Re: iSeries Nation Privileges

i am currently looking at the details, and tenatively plan on doing it.
Waiting for some
details from ibm. I think the restictions (commercial use of the server) are
no different
than IBM's PartnerWorld 1% lease deal for "development purposes only" is the
same
restriction, and has existed for years. Why would IBM give me a $50-100k box
(mostly
in software cost) for 7k without such a restriction? Everyone wanting to be
an ASP would
dive for this without such restrictions.!
