Re: Memory costs

[Brian <system.i.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Even if there is a performance impact, IBM should let the customer order
THEIR machine configured how THEY want it. If the configuration might result
in a significant performance impact, make the customer aware of it
but ultimately the decision should belong to the customer. IBM doesn't have
a crystal ball, they do not know if a customer has intentions of doubling
the memory in a year. IMHO, either this situation is just poor customer
service or yet another example of IBM attempting to milk its System i
customer base.

Kind regards,

BJ

P.S. If you can't tell, I'm a bit peeved with IBM right now after learning
of WDSC SE V7 omitting EGL, and the replacement for CODE Designer.
