They don't mean nuthin. They weren't supposed to be uttered in public. The
machine is a POWER6 570 but they went off and made it a 9406-MMA so
everyone IMMEDIATELY (ESPECIALLY because they told us NOT to) called it an
MMA and the term 570 got left behind like old bath water.
So I have a theory. DON'T EVER use the term i again. Never call the
machine an i, not the O/S the architecture nothing. Never ever call it the
system i or the O/S IBM i. It's top secret hide it. Never utter the letter
i. This directive is from the highest of places.
(Think that'll work?)

What exactly do the letters MMA mean with regard to the System i? I've
been
looking all over and have struck out.
