I started with WDSc, when we got our iSeries and WDSc was bundled at no additional charge.

Happy birthday!

If memory serves correctly, this was the first incarnation of the
unbundled product, which required a separate licence. (It's
forerunner, WDSc 7.0 was part of the server-bundled software, 5xxx-WDS.

There's no shame for not being around when we had to pay for Code/400 in the OS/2 era :-)

A decade has flown by - and we're _still_ trying to convince folk to
adopt it!

It's often said that people are averse to change, yet 10 years ago, who had a smart phone? Today, who doesn't? Progress sometimes requires that people be truly convinced of the value proposition, and sometimes all it takes is 'everyone else is doing it'. Progress will come, as more and more of our sisters and brothers see, and try RDi.
