have the box delivered there and then ship it back home themselves!!
Yeoch! They are in violation of the agreement if they move the machine and
don't declare it. I registered our machine under our corporate address and
had to go through a whole rigmarole to get it at my location.
Develop a small subfile, sell it to me for $5, I'll implement it on my i5
and take the call from IBM :-)

I think Jon's problem is he is not in the right part of the world.
Actually John that does make it more expensive - you have to pay for
software in Canada and the box is more expensive - but most Canadian BPs
just open a "fake" US branch office - have the box delivered there and then
ship it back home themselves!!
But the problem is that when PartnerWorld changed its membership Ts and Cs
they cancelled our membership because we did not sell a software product.
We can't qualify as anything except educators, and that doesn't work because
you have to go along with IBM's idiotic pricing scheme for classes and if we
did that, we'd almost certainly lose money on each class.
