Trouble with physical media, even if it is just 1 CD, is in some states (USA) you are liable for sales tax on the whole order.
-----Original Message----- Jousma, David I know it is wasteful, but I usually order twice. First time electronic to get the mainframe software, then I order again on 3590 Media, because then you get all the off platform CD/DVD physical media too. My last order had 57 images for download/burning, and that was just for TWS and MQSeries. I realize that I don't have to burn all that media, but the problem here is finding a place to store even just the images for possible need later, since the order expires in 14 days or something like that. I was in a meeting with IBM at one time, and suggested that they allows for physical media on electronic download. They thought it was a good idea, but probably never went any further. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
