I will stop calling it an AS/400 when . . . [ fill in the blank ]What will
it take for you to stop calling it an AS/400? at what architectural change?
[When will I stop calling myself jde.iseries? ]
I am fully aware that a significant percentage of IBM insiders and IBM i
users still call it the AS400
The 1988 AS400 was introduced on a CISC processor.
The 1988 AS400 was not a RISC machine.
The 1988 AS400 was not a web/FTP/DNS server because it did not support
TCP/IP or HTTP.
The 1988 AS400 did not have Capacity on Demand.
The 1988 AS400 could not run IBM i, AIX, Linux, nor Windows on IXS or IXA.
The 1988 AS400 could not run DB2 UDB (July 2004 on system i5)
