Occasionally either my boss or I have to ask staff (over the intercom) to log off of the system. He says "AS/400"; I say "i5". He gets better response from the staff; I have to personally call some people ("Oh, you mean the computer."). But the personal calls seem to be declining.

Boss: I've been doing that for 10 years.
HP: Huh?
Boss: AS/400.
HP: Oh.

Ok, I can't get my boss to call it iSeries. Even though I've started to call his laptop his XT.
