Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Hi, Trevor:

I read just fine, and what I read you to have just written is that the 
AS/400 is included in the current family/brand. So that means it's 
perfectly OK if I keep on calling my model 720 an AS/400. Right? So what 
is the fuss about if I do?

What I think was actually more important about my message is the danger in 
divorcing the whatchamacallit current brand name from the heritage of the 
platform, which includes a track record of stability and reliability 
(among other things) that is enviable by just about any reasonable 
standard.

Darrell,

We ALL work on a System i - that is the family name. It is inclusive of 
AS/400, iSeries and System i5 servers.

Has it been that hard to read these messages?
IBM = company
System i = family/brand
System i5 = server
