Re: What's in a name? (not so PRIVATE REPLY)

Mark,
System i covers the platform. In our case, this includes the server and the OS. This differentiates us from other platforms. Using 'System i' covers AS/400, iSeries, i5 and OS/400, i5OS, i6OS (if that is next). Using System i reduces the confusion and keeps the differentiation. 

I understand your idea, but think we should be bigger than our OS.

Hi, Trevor:

I did not say "naming the server" ... I said, "refer to the platform".
   Big difference.

Just like how most people do not say that they are running an HP
Pavilion or Compaq DeskPro, they say they are running "Windows XP" or
"Windows 2000" or just a "Windows PC."

Now do you "get it"?

Cheers,

Mark
