Sorry for being OT here, but do those keyword searches in Twitter (http://search.twitter.com
). I usually see 3-4 posts a day using those keywords.

they called them Power).

Makes it so clear, doesn't it!

All I know is IBM i and System i are pretty much impossible to
Google, so my job searches are all for AS400 (AS/400 also messes up
searches), iSeries and i5. iSeries actually seems the most used.
