The flaw in the comparison is that while the modern Corvettes and
Mustangs, like the System i, have completely different hardware under
the hood from what the originals had.  The Corvettes and Mustangs,
unlike the System i, have changed appearances.

Sure you can recognize the legacy Corvette look, in the modern
Corvettes.  But you'd never mistake a 2006 Corvette for 1967.

On the System i, however the green screen looks the same as it always
has.  Sure, you've got ops-nav and web based interfaces.  But for way,
way to may, the only familiar interface to the System i is the green
screen.
