Re: v5r1 license key

I would also be careful of the following in the Software Mall, which may or
may not include the server side, mainly the rpg compiler, etc.
      479 WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries - Media Pack  4.0



the list on the web has changed in the last few months. I still think Anne
is the
person to get something done for us, if we present it in an organized way,
ie
this is what a "home" developer or 1 person developer needs.
I went thru a lot of this 8 months ago, and did join Partnerworld, and
leased
a 270 from ibm on their special developer lease (after being told the
special
offer for a "personal" system had been cancelled). Getting OS & Dev Tools in
the lease was cheap. I pay $240 month for a 270 (instead of several thousand
on e-bay and than fight with ibm for software). Have not yet ordered any
additional
software. To me it's the just the cost of doing business to keep up (and
also develop
products). I also see IBM Partnerworld is really doing alot, and including
the iSeries
in much of it's promotion & materials (a lot more than it used to).
