How many of these i5/iSeries detractors are driving "legacy" automobiles
like Mustangs or Corvettes?

I for one have tried over the past year or so to change the terminology
that 
I use when referring to the AS/400, System i, iSeries, whatever you want
to 
call it.

There is a distinct difference in my mind between legacy and old.
legacy is 
misused an awful lot these days and I am as quilty of it as anyone.

Legacy refers to history, something which defines an individuals 
performance, a company, or a machine.

Old is just that...OLD.

I still prefer 5250 for most applications but considering our industry,
it 
is something that still works exceptionally well.
