RS/6000, AS/400, and mainframe servers under a single brand by the fourth
quarter.>>

What a depressing thought, John...  Even if the rebranding occurs, and IBM
continues to fail at advertising what was the AS/400, won't there still be a
midrange user community with a lot in common that would still want to continue
meeting and learning from one another?  Surely the user community doesn't have
to vanish even if the AS/400 ends up in a masquerade costume, does it???

I'll be in Baltimore, but I sure don't want it to be the last conference...

What does everyone else think???
