I just got done upgrading my agreements at the Hardware Mall.  So, for the
fun of it, I went over to the Software Mall.  It seems that I can't get in
unless I pay for the IBM Value Package for Developers (it's about
$600/year).

Is this right?  Because over the last six months, I've had several people
say I should go to the Software Mall to download stuff.  Well, I've never
gotten around to it, and now I see that it's another fee-based "service".

How many people here use the Software Mall?  Are there independent
developers ponying over the $600, and what benefit are you getting from it?
I'm just trying to decide whether I can justify the cost to my CFO.
