RE: Let's give the box a name WE like, and force IBM to use it!

OK.  The iSeries.mySeries stuff threw me.  Apparently they're not getting
rid of the iSeries.  The eServer i5 server is next generation of iSeries.
We didn't lose a name, we gained one.

Do the videos show a diverse group of business people giving "high fives" to
each other?

I'm a multisplendored computer guy...I can support the

AS/400;
iSeries;
i5.

Three radically, totally, crazy different machines. My rates are going
up.
