I think I'm pretty cool with the names, though I may blunder from
time-to-time when trying to communicate with others, especially outside
of the family, about it.


But there is one thing that just really gets my dander up about this
"System i, i5-this and that": Every time I type them into Word it
automatically wants to "correct" me by capitalizing the bloody "i";
Oh, I can fix it, but it's a nuisance. I would love to say that it's
just another MSFT conspiracy, but it's Word 2000 so that doesn't wash.


Funny how little things can tick one off, isn't it? .-)

It is an opinion that the platform will go away - WITHOUT A LITTLE

EFFORT.

Please read my emails IN context - thank you.

is that a prediction based on recent news? we need the Power6 now,

not

next year. the lastest metrics from ITJungle show the i5 models
slower at running java apps than the competition.
