RE: I will stop calling it an AS/400 when . . . [ this condition is met ]

The name remains unchanged for 2 years running (how many name changes
since 2000????). Frankly, I think there have been name changes I totally
missed.

I can type the name of the system into a document and not have to fight
with the software regarding spelling (always trying capitalize the "i" for
me.

It has a completely different look and feel.

I can get my users to quit calling it "the DOS system" (ugh...) or 5250 or
any of dozens of other names.

IBM actually markets a name for the system.

I'll take any 3 of the above.
