Hmm, I wonder how many drivers will assume you love your iPod..... Apple seems
to have won the i-market.....

Just a quick observation about i.... I wonder what has happened to the meaning
of "i". When the letter branding began, i was purported to stand for
integration, p for power, and so forth. Today, whenever I search IBM for
integration, I invariably get hits for Websphere Integration products and
services. Ironically, some of these products are not supported on System i....


Still, I like the bumper sticker approach.....

Thanks for your efforts,
Eric

While it might cost IBM a pittance, I fear it is up to us to make that
happen. In fact, I made one some time back!

I just set the price to the cost, in case you wanted to invest the huge
amount of $2.99 plus shipping :-)


And I would be happy to make more varieties... let me know!

Occasionally I see cars driving down the road with an Apple logo sticker.

Maybe we need a sticker (not a bumper sticker) we can put on our car
windows (ie #3 or Calvin whizzing on whatever) to get the word out? A
simple i5 (or iGeek) would do, and I think IBM should provide them, one
for each iSeries Access seat license a customer purchases (or at least one
per employee in the i5 section of the IT department). It would cost IBM a
pittance to do this and people would probably be asking us if this
something of a 'new' product from Apple - (ie iPod/iPhone) and that could
be our 'in' to begin to address the lack of education about the I5.
