Re: Food for Thought

Steve,

I went to a local user group recently, and while fewer people call it the
AS/400, they are still a majority. iSeries is the second choice. How is
reporting of that statistic full of doom+gloom?

BTW, the System i is also no longer sold by IBM.

How about: IBM i on Power Systems - with a strong heritage of AS/400,
iSeries and System i?

Trevor -

Not everybody. It seems to me that /you're/ the one full of gloom and doom.
Even though I don't work on one, I refer to the IBM midrange product as
'System i'.

...and then when someone says to me 'System i?', I then have to educate them
that it is the successor to the AS/400 and the iSeries.
