Trevor, you seem pretty defensive/touchy about the whole "AS/400" name. Did
it hurt you as a child. (Hehe)

But, seriously. A LOT of people in the industry still call it the "AS/400".
I've even run across a few inside IBM. The fact is, "AS/400" is the name
that stuck with people, and once it's engrained, it's hard to change, in
spite of IBM's GREAT (snicker) marketing campaigns. Just like people have a
tendency to refer to Coca-Cola as "Coke", some people, even call Pepsi
"Coke". Regardless, of what YOU or anyone else calls it, at the end of the
day, it's still running, and you're still employed (hopefully).

While Don thinks this is a good idea, I for one would like to see us have
a
future. And twice the publicity for an OLD server will not help!!

System i - New and improved recipe!
