RE: System i - was: VoIP on iSeries

This is a very clever observation, Trevor.  You know I hate marketing fluff,
but this really isn't hype.  The i5 really is a completely different animal
than the AS/400 for any number of reasons, and this is a great way to make
that point.

"Isn't that just an AS/400?"

"No more than a modern cellphone is just a telephone.  Sure, it does
everything the old version did, but it does a whole lot more."

From: Trevor Perry

I personally find that it is IBM and its business partners who are unable
to
modernize their vernacular. One of my customers said yesterday that all
their other IT people think the AS/400 is old. When I suggested they tell
the rest of IT that an AS/400 ~IS~ old, and their server was an i5 (the
most
modern, scalable, reliable server on the planet), they said they would try
that. Small step, but one that our customers need to take.

Help them!
