Amen. This is convincing my customer who has been rushing headlong to 
Oracle to reconsider.

I don't understand something. So far, the noise about i5/OS has been 
mostly
complaining. What is going on?

As a community, there is constant discussion about the perceived LACK of
marketing for our beloved platform. Now, when there IS something to get 
our
teeth into, there are more complaints. Loyalty is one thing, whining is
another.

It seems the reason we are a "dying" breed is our own resistance to 
change.
I say, embrace this change! Run with this campaign. Use it to tell ALL 
your
non-i friends and brag about the incredible "new" platform that IBM is
releasing. It has all the advantages of the AS/400 and the iSeries, with 
the
amazing Power5.

We have the best platform... now, use this ~change~ to spread the word.
