RE: Anti-virus for i5OS

I have no complaints about $150 for RDi and I usually spend about

$2,000+

for a developer workstation. Currently they all have Windows Vista
quad-core CPUs, 4GB RAM, Dual monitors, widescreen of they want them.

And even though we do not allow much access to the IFS when auditors

come to the line in their script that says "Are you running anti-virus

and explain why your iSeries does not need one. That is if the price is
reasonable.

And yet on this very list I hear folks complaining about $150 a seat for
RDi, or that it's too expensive to buy an $800 workstation for
development. I find it hard to justify i5/OS software that's not needed
to assuage an auditor and then not supply developers with the very best
in hardware and software.

Anyway, just me.
