RE: Did we have another name change?

What do the clients of my employer have to do with the name change of
IBM's system?  The clients don't care what the system which runs their
application is called, or even what system it happens to be.  The
clients care the system is up - which it is.  

The people who care what the system is called live here in tech land.  I
guess I'm not seeing what relevance the unnecessary and sarcastic
comment about the customers of the company I work for has to do with the
topic at hand here.  Seems rather unnecessary to me.  

If the majority here love twinax, the AS/400 name, reel-to-reel tape,
downloading PTFs over ECS, getting printed and bound manuals - perhaps
I'm associating with the wrong crowd.

    Thanks for the lecture.  I'll skip mine on those who espouse
meaningless changes simply for the sake of change.  Glad I'm not one of
your clients.
