Re: eServer iSeries or i5?

[pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx]

Peter said that the official name of a 570 is:

IBM eServer iSeries i5 Model 570

He'll be happy if we call it an iSeries 570

OK, I didn't attend common, but I'm reading my copy of Insider Weekly
and I see some Q&As from the Town Hall meeting. So, 
 
Q: How do we educate about name change, everyone calls it an AS/400.
A: "... iSeries is the name, so correct everyone..." -- Peter Bingaman,
VP Marketing, IBM Somers
 
Hmmmm, but I thought the new new name was i5, so off to ibm.com/iseries
I go and the top of the page says "Midrange Servers: iSeries", but the
title of the page says "IBM Midrange Servers - eServer i5 and iSeries",
the Featured topics section starts "IBM eServer iSeries is a
premier...", but the green "Consolidation without disruption" case study
above that section says "IBM eServer i5 helps..." 
 
So, what IS the name of the box? Are there two boxes? Peter seems to be
rather sure that it's an iSeries, but I'm not sure the rest of IBM is
under the same opinion.
