Tommy,

The major problem we have is that it is easy to blame IBM, and therefore we
can absolve ourselves of responsibility and sit on our bums and do nothing.
It is obvious that approach smacks of laziness.

It is time for us to DO something, and stop blaming Google and IBM.

And it is not about convincing newbies that it is old or new. It is about
convincing the world out there that we are NEW. We cannot do that if we use
names that refer them to OLD technology.

here resides entirely with IBM. they should have done more thinking about
these things before they slapped the latest moniker on the system. just a
side note....ever use the java toolkit for the system....everything in it
references as400. convince a newbie (that most likely eats, breathes, etc
java) that it's on the "old" technology with that...

Thanks,
