An AS/400 Mail Campaign

[Eric Kempter <NOERICK.NORCAL@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We (my wife who works for a business that has a S/390 and no AS/400s) 
received an advertisement in the mail from IBM yesterday.  It is a flyer 
that says on the left, over a picture of the AS/400, IBM's AS/400e Extreme 
Business Tour = coming soon to a location near you!

The flyer folds out to the right.  It highlights:
 AS/400 Announcement Overview
Web Serving
Supply Chain Managment
Lotus Domino for AS/400
Business Intelligence
Java on AS/400
Business to Business Applications
net.commerce
more.

Find out where and register on the Web at ibm.com/as400/extremetour.  Get 
on the road to extreme answers.

There's more but this is the general gist.

I'll go one better and say that I think the name change is necessary, to
fool Joe public into thinking that this is the "latest" thing from IBM.

There are too many people who will think the AS/400 is "legacy". Yes, a 
HUGE
amount of marketing will change this, but a rename/rebadge will be cheaper.
It will still be a /400 at heart.
