RE: iSeries NEWS_Wire Daily --> NEWS_Wire

Just in case IBM's floating another name-change idea (and since I'm not
permitted to contact any of their Executives"...:

A year ago I suggested the name B/52e, rather than iSeries.  IIRC, I
commented something like it may be to "jingoistic"...  Unfortunately, that's
no longer the case.


But since then, I came up with a (IMHO) better name for the 38/400/iSeries
family:  "I/38".

How does that grab y'all...?  Sort of brings things full-circle, don't ya
thin'...?  (Does to me anyway.)  Still doubt if IBM would ever accept a name
proposed by a customer, but what the hey...  I saved a few domain names for
them and the iNation, just in case.


BTW, whatever the computer is called, it REALLY *SHOULD* run CPF, like it
always HAS: "Central Processor Foundation" (IMHO).


'Course, just 'cause my Wife's taking a marketing course, doesn't make me
any marketing maven...;=)

iSeries NEWS_Wire Daily :

Editor's Note: Starting tomorrow, the name of this newsletter will change
back to NEWS Wire Daily. We regret any confusion this may cause.

===> Leif's Note: It seems that the "magic" assumed to be
associated with iSeries is wearing off a bit...
