I did. A couple of years ago I gave them two years. Tick, tock. There's a whole mash of stuff in this. Marketing - against what ever IBM decides to do - is always gonna be tough. You're not taking on a Mom-and-Pop corner store. Intellectual property. Yeah - SIE is publicly defined - but is it any real use without SIE Assist - which isn't? IFCC? I/O - which seems to be the biggest technical PSI issue. They've a patch for 46xx according to the scuttlebutt - but it's obsolete, so what about 66xx? Months? Licenses? Martina Navratilova (sic? ? ?) recently stated that no PSI installations would receive licenses. This is apparently backed up by the aßhole, who is to be copied on all correspondence. They just tick up so many unprovens. And if you want a real good sign: Steve Friedman, Supremo of T3 Technologies (PSI's "go to market partner"), very recently screwed up his "unsubscribe" from this very list. All subscribers will have seen it. Going fishing? In the Bering Straits? He's already sent quite a few of his staff back to enjoy family life. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
