  • Subject: iSeries Confusion
  • From: "David Keck" <dkeck@xxxxxxx>
  • Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 12:13:19 -0700

Earlier this week I received an e-article written by Wayne Madden suggesting
a visit to www.ibm.com where I could find an iSeries Thinkpad featured.
Upon seeing this I sent the following query to IBM ...

From: dkeck@idt.net (David Keck)
 -----------------------------------------------------------
www.ibm.com advertises the "Thinkpad iseries 1200".  Does it run OS/400 as
all
the other iseries systems do ?  If so I would like to order one.  Thank You
!
-----------------------------------------------------------

To this IBM "insightfully" realized my "confusion" and responded with the
following ...

       to the AS/400 Servers run OS/400.
