Subject: Re: MMA machines

They don't mean nuthin. They weren't supposed to be uttered in public. The
machine is a POWER6 570 but they went off and made it a 9406-MMA so
everyone IMMEDIATELY (ESPECIALLY because they told us NOT to) called it an
MMA and the term 570 got left behind like old bath water.

So I have a theory. DON'T EVER use the term i again. Never call the
machine an i, not the O/S the architecture nothing. Never ever call it the
system i or the O/S IBM i. It's top secret hide it. Never utter the letter
i. This directive is from the highest of places.
