Shhhh!  I like our free coffee.  Budget's getting tight - don't give them 
any ideas.

Jon, what is the actual horsepower needed to run Eclipse? 



I am still astounded that  programming shop managers think that 512 RAM is
too expensive.  I just bought a 512 stick last week for $39 (after a $20
rebate).  How can a shop give free coffee and then complain that $39 is 
too
much money?

>> Does this mean that CODE as we know it today will no longer be enhanced

by IBM in lieu of the Eclipse plug-in? If so, I agree with you on making

CODE open-source.



That's the idea I'm afraid. The comms infrastructure and install problems

of CODE has been killing them for years - this is their way out of some 
very

nasty code. An open-source group would fix it in no time but .... it will

never happen I fear. Pity though because I think 95% of all RPG developers

will be locked out of the new stuff by the hardware requirements. Many of

the shops I work with can only just about load CODE let alone WDSc.
