DRsquare,

You consider IBM inept, and you are here on this list? If you are making a
living from business related to IBM products, then you might wish to
understand their products. You certainly misrepresent them absolutely and
completely.

Your jaded, negative and cynical view really is difficult to take against
the major evolution and positive steps IBM has taken with IBM i on Power.

Dennis,

The things that you're as WELL AWARE of as many of the rest of us include:

1. This o/s is known (thanks to IBM ineptness) by many names, and these
names are ACCEPTED BY INDUSTRY when talking about the broad category of
systems that run OS/400, uh, I mean i/os, un, I mean..... All of us (with
one or 2 exceptions) generally seem to understand what the others are
talking about.

2. Also as I believe you're well aware of, when IBM says "POWER" they're
specifically referring and wanting you to be running AIX. To IBM,
os/400(or
whatever) is and has been just another add on legacy (THEIR TERMS) o/s.

Keep in mind that AIX, is just another mutation of UNIX - BOTH operating
environments which have been around for as long or longer than CPF or
OS/400
- yet for some reason IBM hasn't decided to morph their names along with
the
seasons... Ever wonder why?

OK, back to our naps...I'm sure trevor will have some retort but I'm sure
my
spam filter is still working... :)
