Re: Advanced vs. Standard

How scientific are these opinionated numbers?  I tell/ask every client I get
in touch with if they are using WDSC (usually anyways).  I think a lot more
developers are at least trying WDSC than we think.  Here are some stats for
the number signed up for the WDSC list (toward bottom) which puts us at 799
of people just listening here.  

http://www.midrange.com/liststats.htm

I think we could safely quadruple that number to maybe 3200? (scientific, I
know)  That's a lot of developers given how relatively small the iSeries
market is.

Maybe another good measure would be how many people download updates to WDSC
- IBM would have those numbers.

Thoughts?

That's exactly what I'm talking about.  A good percent of programmers are
not even using WDSCi...

Thanks, James

Sounds like IBM will get  real earful at  > the next Common conference

from programmers.

Aside from the dozen or so active posters to this list, WDSCi is essentially
unknown to RPG programmers.  Unless there's a secret underground of WDSCi
users we don't hear from on this list, there won't be a long line howling
about the AE situation.
