Hi All,
I would like to bring your attention to this site called
www.xephon.com
they cater to the MQ community through their magazine subscriptions.
But they are shutting down...which is very sad.
and if the sponsors here would take notice of this and if possible try to see that the site doesn't get shut down..
To know how valuable this site is..i ask everyone here to go and register on the site and just take a look at the magazine archive...and you will be pleasantly surprised..

To be honest, I think this site has been in this state for some time....
At least they kept the archive going, but I remember looking at their pay-rates for articles many years ago and thought they were quite generous - maybe too generous as it turns out  |

As a former Xephon MQ Update contributor, I also recommend the site - some of the articles are from IBM'ers at Hursley.
They did offer decent payment for articles but I think the amount of material available for free on the web eventually undermined their business model. |

You don't get this kind of material for free on the web anywhere..except for xephon..
but i wished they would continue...
may be most contributers here..should start writing articles...

That's not time. Go and wash at once.
