Re: PWD Experience.. so far

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The good news, Brad, is that version 5.1.2 lets you install only the CODE & 
VARPG piece. Of course, that's not the version you can download, and you 
wouldn't know which of the pieces to get only that piece.

It's been irritating, BTW, that PWD took away the Professional 
developerWorld subscription (download only), which, IIRC, did not have the 
silly 90-day trial agreement. Someone at IBM didn't like missing out on 
$1700 from each PWD partner, I guess.

Being a partner makes you eligible for lower interest leases on iSeries 
boxes. The trick is to load it up with software, as it is "free". It won't 
help you now, but maybe later.

Membership levels are a mystery, I think. The site says everyone comes in 
at the basic level, I think. Advanced and Premier are bestowed on partners 
that, I suppose, help generate revenue for IBM. I would think that your 
visibility in the marketplace might have something to do with it.

Later
