Timothy, I can’t talk for others but IBM can’t seem to handle the Internet. We have seen and had happen to all of us something happens when IBM gets involved in the internet. Just look back on say the past year when IBM had outages with some web/other outages. IBM misses the golden 5 9999’s anytime they do anything with the Internet, Software/Hardware/Manuals IBM not so much. I am not sure I would trust anything that is needed for the MF on the Internet. Now MAYBE one or two times there were “other” issues but 10-20+, I don’t think so. Not being able to get emergency key(s) would give IBM a real black eye, IMO.
