This is true. I don't think I ever got one customer from listing my stuff
in their directory (which I had to keep up every few months to remain a
"business partner").

Even the discounts for dev systems are gone, or almost gone. And having
IBM suggest an ISV, especially one with a solution that fits 100%... good
luck with that.

I do appreciate the guys that still work on PTFs and enhancements, though.
At least most of those are still local. It's nice talking to someone in
Rochester vs India.
