Re: system names

My company has had several systems over the years...

(Did I mention that I'm from Texas - lol?)

AS/400 F35 named "BUBBA"
AS/400 B10 named "JUNIOR"
Small S/36 (5364) named "PEEWEE"
Small RS/6000 named "SPANKY"
AS/400 40S (still in service) named "BERTHA"
AS/400 Portable (still in service) named "SMALLFRY"

One system is named "THNDRDOM" (Thunderdome)
and another system is named "MADMAX"
But I don't know why their development system is named "SNOOPY"

I suppose they could make things up if they were so inclined. I'm not sure
why anyone would. Neil will be following up with those who submit.

RE: system names






Interesting.  How will you know people aren't just making up a name to
give you?  Aren't you going to need some sort of proof for editorial
accuracy?

   Subject: system names

   eServer Magazine, iSeries edition is working on a short article on
what
   people name their systems. For instance, one small college in
Minnesota
   named its new iSeries after the college's first administrator. So
we're
   looking for system names that are out of the ordinary (e.g., dinosaur
   species, sports teams, etc.). If you have one or know of one, please
send
   a message OFF-LIST to Neil Tardy, editor_njt@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks for
your
   assistance.
