I believe the Subject should be 'Computer Legends', as opposd to
ISeries Legends.
To wit; ISeries logo, didn;t even exist when the 'legend' was created.
My favorite over the years, was a story told to me by an old school
prof.
According to him, (and this goes back 40 years or so), the term 'Bug',
in reference to computers,
happened in an IBM research lab, when they left the windows open one
night, and the moths and insects
clogged up the disk drives, and a considerable amount of research was
lost.
How much truth, or fact is associated with that story is questionable,
but it's always seemed plausible in my mind.
That's because, maybe with the exception of Joe, I can remember the old
RAMAC drives, and the story seems very plausible.
