Re: When an AS/400 is called an iSeries

That would be a "System i" (not "Series i").

Perhaps a good analogy... Upgrading a 486 to a Core 2 Duo. Runs the same cards, same software, same everything... But the Core 2 Duo is much faster and more modern. It's more capable of moving your business forward.

Same with converting an AS/400 to System i5. Faster, more features, more modern, but it still runs all the old stuff the same way...

Not just a new logo.
