i stand corrected! The System/38 was begotten by the System/3 
Model 15.

A simple case of 'oldtimers disease'.

Thanks for reminding me.

Sorry to be picky, but....

The S/38 came out in 1979.  The S/36 came out in 1982.  I don't quite see
how S/36 begat S/38.

How about...
Soul
...a tangential reference to Mr. Solis.  Although not directly involved in
the development of RPG (I don't think) he's is pointed to as the AS400's
chief architect.
