RE: Happy i5/OS 2008?

IBM had a series of Systems from the Small Systems Division--- System/3, System/34, System/36, and System/38. The next logical step would have been System/40.

And then Marketing stepped in, and we had System/400.... well, -APPLICATION- System/400.

I, for one, think
the name AS/400 still applies - AS=Application System right? (I am not sure
where the 400 came from).
