Since I am the System i hardware person, and wear many other hats as
well, I
don't have a problem getting the disks from me!  I have already asked my
BP
to order on the 16th.  I agree that there should be a downloadable image
for
us to get to.  What a Pain!!!

This has been an ongoing issue since the product line was introduced.
IBM ask us to use the product and then makes it nearly impossible to

get.

Let me ask a rhetorical question:  Which is more difficult?  Getting

the

product from IBM or getting it from the System i hardware people in

your

own firm?

Well, have pretty much given up on WDSC 7.0 until I can order on

media.

1. Cannot use Passport Advantage because requires an account.
2. Created a Passport Advantage Account but cannot download from

account

because I am not authorized.
3. Cannot get authorized with my ISV.
4. Asked my ISV to download and he cannot download it because you

cannot

be part of Passport Advantage unless you pay $1,500!

I don't know who designed this whole system but I know they have a

side

job at "Joe's House of Pain"!

Why can't we just go to an FTP site and download?

It is based on Eclipse and the product is perfectly useless unless

you

have an AS/400 with development tools in which case it is free.

Does this make sense to anyone else?
