Bruce Barrett -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jones, John (US) Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 9:49 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: eServer iSeries or i5? IBM eServer iSeries i5 is the current excessively long name. I consider it as follows: IBM - Brand eServer - Product line iSeries - Model line i5 - Model Thus, IBM can still call it the iSeries when it rolls to the i6, i7, etc. so we retain that form of branding. Unfortunately, the OS looks to be getting a new name fairly frequently assuming they rename to i6/OS, etc. as time goes by. John A.

Leverich [mailto:WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 11:38 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: eServer iSeries or i5? 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. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com <http://www.techsoftinc.com/> Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
