Well, I confess to not knowing every IBMLink greenscreen feature that will be lost or become less functional when using the browser version. And with business being what it is today, I simply don't have the time to perform an in-depth feature and usability analysis. One would think that IBMLink designers would have done that **before** announcing a "withdrawl" (sic) of the greenscreen access. Certainly they must have analyzed greenscreen usage over the past six months or so, right?
So... I posted the notice here, where people with passion and experience are likely (pretty much guaranteed) to respond. I volunteer to package up the posts with specific, "actionable" comments into a single Feedback which I will submit here, and to IBMLink on or before Monday, January 15 . That permits IBMVM listserve members more time to comment on this thread, and allows IBMLink half the 31 day time period between the notice of, and the actual withdrawal deadline to take a graceful step back, consider the implications of the greenscreen withdrawal on its customer's productivity, and extend the deadline until the web application inadequacies have been acceptably addressed. Thank you all for your consideration and comments. Keep them coming!
