If they ever heard of as/400 that is.... i don't know if this is the reason.

I mean Unix is like 40 yrs old, and is not been seen as "old".

But sure, most non-experts seeing an as/400 app (or "i" app) see those green-screen interfaces. And they conclude that it is old. And they are right. For non-experts the user interface *is* the whole system, nothing else. Maybe it's an idea to name those green apps "as/400 apps" and newer apps (i.e. client/server or web) "i" apps.

Because the current users of the IBM i are telling them that it is an
AS/400.

And, everyone knows... an AS/400 is old.

We all know the i is the bestest system in the world. But something I
puzzle about...why are all those folks with advanced computer science
degrees, or people with MBAs, and people with years of experience
picking Windows/Linux? Are they stupid? Are they just caught up in the
hype? Is this declining group of data processors (us) smarter than the
rest? While I like to think I'm a bright boy, I also realize there are
a bunch of other folks out there that know more about computers,
capabilities, and productivity than I'll ever know. Just curious...
