Re: time-limited IDS v10
David asked Neil Truby why he had not asked his IBM account manager about getting a time-limited IDS v10. Neil explained that his firm is an IBM Business Partner, that its Partner Manager, very knowledgeable about Informix, could not find one, and that an ordinary account manager would not know such details. Obnoxio The Clown added a one-word reply. No time-limited IDS v10 source was found.

No. What did they say?

Well we're an IBM Business Partner so our main contact with IBM is through our Business Partner Manager. He is one of the most knowledgable people about Informix and around IBM you could find, and he can't find one. As it happens we are also regarded as a customer by IBM, but our IBM Account Manager as a customer would be someone in IBM telesales with literally hundreds of small accounts to mmanage, as well as the hundreds and hundreds of IBM software and hardware products, and services, and could not possibly be expected to have this level of detailed knowledge. But the point I'm making was: don't you think I would have thought of these things first?!

Yes. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.
