I DO know where the name issues are. I have been pushing IBM - along with
MANY of us here - to refer to System i by its current brand name. Some time
back, I heard an IBMer say "I did not know it was not called an AS/400 any
more". Marketing the brand inside IBM is VERY important.
Trevor, I think you're doing the right thing. The time to advocate for
a better name is long past; we have what we have. IBM ought to push it
vigorously and so should we.
I do have a suggestion that you might be able to help with.
If I put www.iseries.ibm.com into my browser, I get redirected to
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/ Same thing for www.as400.ibm.com. I
honestly wish they'd put www.systemi.ibm.com in their list of web pages
that redirects. Remembering the www-03 page is a pain in the drain,
although www.ibm.com/systems/i redirects properly.
Whilst on the topic of web sites, THE web site I visit most often is
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/ ...which could use a redirect too.
Then again, I might be the only person left on the planet who types in
URLs...
