Not only that, but if IBM bundles one seat of ADTS with the system, I 
think most operator issues will go away.  If you have more than one 
operator on your machine at any given time, then yes, you would need to 
buy an additional seat.  Or use Ops Nav, or a third-party tool.

The question is how many people find PDM indispensible for their 
day-to-day programming needs, because of a specific lack in RSE.  If you 
do, now is the time to speak up because you need to get that on the 
table with the developers.  I'd be more than happy to build a list of 
specific issues and bring it to the powers that be.
