Adding it to auto-correct is the way to go. Whether you use a shortcut
like Joe's sysi or add the entire thing. Personally I do the entire
thing so I don't have to think about the shortcuts I've added.
Steve, I used autocorrect for iSeries as well so it would keep the
"correct" case.
And I do generally distinguish between System i the platform and i5/OS
the operating system. What sucks is that I have a System i and an
iSeries so I have to choose my terms based on which of our systems I'm
referring to. But as noted it is oftentimes lost on the audience who
still calls it the 400 and makes no distinction between platform & OS.
Sometimes it's simply easier to say "midrange". (Please don't bother to
say that an iSeries is a System i or vice versa. What we bought was an
iSeries. What we later bought was a System i. Unless IBM is going to
come out & replace the iSeries badge with a System i badge and offer to
update our fixed asset system it stays what it was when we bought it.)
