PermaLinkND6.5 charts available; ND6 no longer available

Last night I posted about having received my order for 5 sets of ND6 object model charts (LotusScript parts 1 & 2 - which includes XML, Java, and @Formula ...5 sets of 4 charts each). But I had not saved the ordering URL and when I tried to find it last night the IBM site for ordering publications (at least the part I was trying to access) was unavailable, and I tried off an on for a while. So I couldn't post the URL.

This morning I see that the ND6 charts are no longer available.

The ND6.5 charts are available, however. You can order a set at http://snipurl.com/ffto ...be aware that what I had ordered was 5 sets of 4 charts each for a total of US$60. It appears that the 6.5 charts come in a pack that is ONE set of 5 charts for a price of US$36.25. If I'm interpretting that correctly, then I had paid US$3 per chart and anyone ordering ND6.5 charts will be paying US$7.25 per chart. That's a lovely 142 percent price increase for a product that helps us continue to develop applications using IBM Lotus products. YIKES!

It looks to me like IBM is really, really wanting folks to download the PDF versions and go to Kinko's or something to have the posters printed.

Hmmm... That would explain how come the cost *appeared* to be cheaper... I'll have to see what shows up in a few days, and then try to talk Mike into letting me order three more.
