Re: New Release?

Amen Brother. And this is from a developer just getting into WDSC. I may as
well stay on SEU,PDM,SDA, and the programmers menu(which I like, BTW), until
I retire, and then who cares if IBM goes out of business. I wont.

"IBM, Im sorry but this sucks!!!"

I couldn't agree more. There is no way my shop will pay for this type of 
gouging. (Unless code designer has an option to translate the 5250 data 
stream into a browser friendly format... (which I doubt).)

Maybe folks who are going to the next Common should develop a strategy to 
make this known at the Town Hall. Perhaps coordinate an 'event' where 
Trevor Perry asks the question about why they are doing this to us. And 
then have them ask the attendees who are upset with this decision to stand 
up and walk out. (I can't go to Common any more due to budget cuts. The 
bean counters would surely laugh at the added expense for WDSCi AE.)

Maybe this is the final nail in the coffin IBM marketing has been looking 
for. The one thing that will force us to stay with green screen so that 
the platform can finally die.

Sorry for the rant but this really peeves me. 

I have two programmers who won't use WDSCi because they use Code. Since 
last year, a WDSCi developer has been telling us that Code would be 
integrated into WDSCi, which is what my programmers have been asking for. 
And evidently they've been misleading us all along. It's getting harder 
and harder to be an evanglist when the truth turns out to be a bait and 
switch.
