And one more... You said:
The many name changes are just adding insult to injury. But since they're not marketing it properly, positive brand recognition is not there anyway.
There have been NO name changes since January 2006. There were ultimately only 3 names - AS/400, iSeries (part of eServer family) and System i5. And that was over EIGHTEEN years - IT changes its diapers much faster than that. Now we have the System i family to cover all three platforms and bring the community together.
So, collectively, we must: 1) stop whining about ~ALL~ the name changes - 2) start calling this platform by its CURRENT family name - System iIt seems such a simple simple thing. Why is it that other IT developers can change and adapt fast, and we cannot. And it is just a brand name to change!! Maybe because we are dinosaurs at IT, we will become extinct soon?
As for brand recognition.. while we collectively call it AS/400, there will be ~no~ brand recognition. IBM has given us a name for the platform, and until WE recognize the branding, there is no future.
AS/400 is our heritage. System i is our future.
