Darrell,

There is nothing wrong with calling your AS/400 an AS/400. You are one ofthe lucky few to still be living with one. And it belongs to the System ifamily (our watchamacallit brand name). And that is how it is connected.


Easy.

Hi, Trevor:

I read just fine, and what I read you to have just written is that the
AS/400 is included in the current family/brand. So that means it's
perfectly OK if I keep on calling my model 720 an AS/400. Right? So what
is the fuss about if I do?

What I think was actually more important about my message is the danger in
divorcing the whatchamacallit current brand name from the heritage of the
platform, which includes a track record of stability and reliability
(among other things) that is enviable by just about any reasonable
standard.
