RE: IDS 10 Download?

My experience is the same - the web pages are just too busy, if you know what I mean - difficult to find stuff. And in my case I usually just look for documentation ! -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Data Goob Sent: 04 March 2005 05:00 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: IDS 10 Download? John, I appreciate your cynicism! 8o) But, uhm, have you really been to the IBM web site lately? There are so many confusing pages the site is a nightmare--and I don't think I'm the only one who shuts down when thinking about where to look for something on that website. It's too confusing, so a direct link where to look for something is invaluable. Not to mention how tinyurl came about simply because of sites with links that are impossible to remember or type into a browser. You should join in with the rest of us who have to use IBM's web site on a daily basis for TSM or AIX--or DB2 for that matter, trying to figure out what patches to apply or get straight answers on software and what it works on. Then imagine the site slowing down to a crawl trying to get a file with FTP, or docs that are listed but you can only download one at a time because they decided to pop-up all the PDFs into the same window. So, to assume that I could actually find the Informix download in less than 5 minutes is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to the mess of shit that comprises the IBM website. sending to informix-list
