Testdrive IBM Workplace Collaboration Services

by Volker Weber

The Workplace Channel reports on the IBM Workplace Collaboration Services Showcase, the artist also known as DoesNotWorkplace, and refers to the access code that you need to sign up:

Lotus sales team members refer to the Lotus Workplace Live Showcase announcement in the Lotus Sales Tools database or on the XL Web site for the access code. Lotus Business Partners refer to the Lotus Workplace Live Showcase announcement in the Partner Forum. GCPC members check the GCPC forum for the Lotus Workplace Live Showcase announcement. PSP customers contact your Lotus Support Manager for the access code.

If you do not have the time to wait until a Lotus sales team member has looked up the access code in the Lotus Workplace Live Showcase announcement in the Lotus Sales Tools database or on the XL Web site, or if you cannot find it in the the GCPC forum for the Lotus Workplace Live Showcase announcement, or you cannot contact the Lotus Support Manager, then you may want to check the source code of the form where you fill in your access code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function doSubmit(action)
{
if(document.UserProfileForm.code.value=="firstlook"){
document.UserProfileForm.currentAction.value = action;
document.UserProfileForm.submit();
return false;
}
else{
alert("The access code is not correct.");
return false;
}
}
</script>

IBM seems to make certain assumptions about the level of knowledge in their customer base. ;-)

That's definitely worthy of submission to the most excellent Daily WTF (http://TheDailyWTF.com/).

I explain difficult concepts in simple ways. For free, and for money. Clue procurement and bullshit detection.
