RE: no more cume dvd via sndptford?

I'm just saying that for the truckload of money that software
subscription costs, they could provide servers with at least decent
performance.

Other vendors don't have a problem with that. I can get linux updates
from a local server at my DSL link speed. I can get windows updates from
local servers (akamai infrastructure). Even apple gets this. And none of
them want "direct" money for updates.

Lukas,

It does take us about a day to get all the cumes, etc.  Still faster
than 
physical delivery.  Especially since IBM uses the slowest possible
method 
of physical delivery and no longer gives you the option to "speed it up
a 
little".
