>I think the short answer is that there are certain models (like the 520 >and 590) that are i5's. Other boxes are iSeries' and other boxes are >AS/400's. So that designation depends on the model. I get that (marketing) distinction. I'm trying to avoid a model-to-model discussion. I'm looking at the more conceptual/abstract idea of what makes an i5/iSeries/AS400 an i5/iSeries/AS400. >The fact that they're using a different >'translator' (PASE) or a different processor (IXS) or a different OS >(AIX/Linux) doesn't matter - it's still running on the i5. So the i5/iSeries/AS400 is simply a hardware platform? And in some cases not a very stable once since we can run Windows on it? If so, how is that use of an i5 any different from a blade server and a SAN? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
