Dealing with the IBM bureaucracy






Rob,

Thanks for your reply.  The issue here is not whether Microsoft would do 
the same thing (or worse) but that this particular division of IBM is 
treating us as if we were criminals intent on ripping them off, not 
customers in good standing of over 20 years.  Kudos to your boss for 
making plans to move to Linux.  I suppose that would come with its own 
problems to.  You might have SCO knocking at your door demanding licensing 

fees...
