RE: Say Hello to IBM System i5!

Yeah, I heard that in a webcast yesterday. System i5, System z9, System p5 and 
I don't know what became of xSeries.

I really wish they would stop doing this. It is hard enough to cultivate 
mindshare for these systems without IBM changing the name every couple years. I 
think this constant name changing reduces the credibility of the whole system. 
Every time you have to go to management and inform them of another name change 
they just shake their heads. Whatever the name, seems I always end up having to 
use "AS/400" as part of the definition. At least we have some people in the 
company who never heard of it prior to "iSeries" so presumably I'll be able to 
explain it to them as the "next generation iSeries".
