Re: Developer Lease to 1.75%????

Guys,

I'm just overwhelm by the way IBM is conduction business with the iSeries
server (AS/400).  As if it is not difficult enough for developers to get
into one of these boxes (270) now they have to raise the bar for financing
the system.  I tried to get in with their current criteria and I was bumped
due to lack of business credit history.  I'm just tired trying to build a
business and career with the AS/400.  I'm moving on to Suns Solaris and
Linux for more knowledge, development and to build my business.  I will
continue to work with my current knowledge on the iSeries until I'm fully
developed on the other platforms I'm learning now.

Dare
