A horse is a horse, and I am well aware of the name changes over the product life cycle -- no different than RS/6000-pSeries-System p or S/3x0, z Series, System z. I really don't care about marketing and am interested in the folklore and thought processes of the design of these computers.

As I stated in my first email, running the latest os400 isn't a priority (nor the cost associated with it). If I can get a good system cheaply off eBay, I would be more happy.

So I guess I should make it clear - AS/400-i Series-System i... they are all the same to me and I just want an inexpensive system as an introduction to learn and play with. Again, CPU power or modern OS and software are not that important. If anyone has one sitting offline at work, or sees something on eBay, let me know! Thanks for the suggestions thus far.

Regards,

Kevin
