This reminds me of the first demo IBM/Lotus gave us a
few years back on Lotus Notes.(AS/400 BP's)
The guy opened the session by saying...
"You folks can NOT make money selling Lotus Notes,
so you will need to plan on selling service agreements to
make your revenue stream."
I think every single IBM pc ever sold after that had a
free copy of Lotus SmartSuite.
I often wondered how in the world did they plan on
getting those billions of dollars back on the purchase of Lotus
giving the software away for free.
They are still working on that plan.
I'm sorry I misinterpreted you. FWIW, I think that this move toward
selling support/services rather than selling software is a trend that
will only continue to increase. If IBM i doesn't play well in this
area, it can only be harmful to the i community.
