RE: Clarify i5 vs. iSeries please

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Think of it as a numeric series starting with 5.  We have the i5, next
will be the i6, i7, etc.  It's a series.  An iSeries.

Still, "IBM eServer iSeries i5 570 Enterprise Edition" is a ridiculously
long name.  Here we have one AS/400e (730) and one iSeries (830).  I'm
trying to get away from saying "AS/400" or anything model specific since
it seems whatever name I say won't have traction for very long.  I just
say "midrange".

All,

Am I correct in my understanding that the "iSeries" name is _not_ going
away. The i5s are the "most recent member of the iSeries family"
according to the iSeries home page @ IBM.

So if I wanted to correctly refer to what one of those machine that we
all have that run 5250 applications could I still correctly call it an
iSeries?
