In the list of servers, they had some p5 servers listed, but nothing for p6.
WTF? In the list of network adapters, they had 10/100 and 10G. But no 1G.
WTF? If your going to list specific items, list them all or don't get into
that level of detail.
So assuming that I *could* list my specific products - does this mean that each
time IBM comes out with a new TDP product that I have to update my profile?
Garbage lids.
I tried it with an open mind. It's not ready. My opinion is formed. Their
"window of opportunity" has closed. When will IBM learn to not release
software before it's ready? Their quality control (not just with this web
stuff) is going downhill (again).
..grr
