Seems simple to me.

Maybe the AS400 is another Product Line in the iSeries Family?

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.
