Al,
I just have to report this on reply to your "unknown iSeries name":
Last week I made a call to the IBM Helpdesk for iSeries customers in Germany,
at first I went into the tape loop (they were busy) where a nice woman's voice
told me I'm waiting for the "AS/400 support center".
When I got a real person on the phone I tried to make a joke out of it and told 
her
that she was working in the wrong center then, because IBM told everybody that
the system now is called the "iSeries" and no longer "AS/400" ...
Guess what her reaction was ?
She asked me if I was a college teacher to tell her about this ...  :-)

So I went on with my problem and like you Al, for me it's still AS/400 like it
was before.
BTW: Nobody in germany calls a Mercedes now Daimler-Chrysler  ....

Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
