Re: renamed to: Get users to stop saying AS/400

James,

This is the entire point of this discussion. IBM i on Power is NOT an
AS/400, NOT another name change.

I repeat:
"..in 2008. IBM announced Power Systems, a merger of System i and System
p. This was a bigger deal to IBM than S/36 and S/38 to AS/400.."

There is far more difference in both hardware and software architecture
between a current model MacBook, and the original Mac128, then there is
between, say, an E4B and a B10, and yet they're both called Macintoshes.
Likewise, far more difference between WinDoze Vista and WinDoze 286 than
there is between V7.1 and V1R1, and yet Microsloth still calls it WinDoze.

Yet IBM feels compelled to change names more often than some people I
know change their underwear.
