RE: Say Hello to IBM System i5!

  So true, Marty.  I like the name System I5, but it seems that IBM  is going 
down a road where the system name is tied to the processor  name.  My 
understanding is that plans are in place for Power5 -  Power9 processor 
designs.  Does that mean we should expect I5 - I9  in the next several years?
  
  Perhaps the best you can do is build brand recognation around your own  
product lines, rather than rely on any stability from IBM.
  
  Maybe you can say your products are cross-platform.  They run on every 
platform formally known as the AS/400 ;-)
