Re: Happy Birthday to the AS/400, iSeries, System i, IBM i

I was simply referring to the fact it IS the 20th Anniversary of the release of the product named AS/400. I believe it's correct to say Happy 20th Birthday AS/400, as Timothy Prickett Morgan wrote in his article.
If you're going to celebrate th etechnology then you'd really have to say Happy 30th Birthday (S/38).

I'm two days behind in reading midrange-l....just read a
post (6/17)
with a comment about the birthday celebrating the
"name" AS/400.

It's the technology, how it has evolved, and what it
has become that we
celebrate! It is the product and it's capabilities
that we celebrate.
Not the name!

There will be a celebration in Rochester and the
appropriate IBM AS/400
thru IBM i executives will be on hand to help celebrate.

I'd love to see a list of what you think are the
coolest changes in this
product since it was announced in Toronto at COMMON in
1998.
