Like this?? It loses something in the translation as the center section is
solid bordered. The development system is iLinus.

Subject: renamed to: Get users to stop saying AS/400
Your comment about users seeing MacBook Pro or Windows 7 constantly brings
up an idea I never thought of.
How about everyone changing their companies Sign On screen (you can change
the sign on screen)
And put:
Welcome to IBM i
Or
Welcome to IBM i running on Power System
Or
Some other term everyone can agree on
Some color everyone can agree on
Location everyone can agree on
Just make it consistent for EVERYONE
Users will see it every day or multiple times a day.
They will eventually start calling it by something other than AS00

Subject: Re: Classes for IBMi/iSeries?
+1 to this. I don't call my MacBook Pro a PowerBook because right under
+the
screen, it says "MacBook Pro". The name is clearly visible to me. Every
time
I turn on my work computer, I see Windows 7, not XP or 2000 or a black DOS
screen. Now, if my only interaction running IBM i applications is via 5250
or the web, there is little or no indication whether I'm running on an
AS/400, iSeries, or Power. It's all about the visibility. The users call it
"AS/400" becuase they've used the same software packages for 18+ years with
no visible indication of the platform change from AS/400 to iSeries to
System i to Power. And in the end, isn't that how it should be?

Correct me if I'm wrong...
But my understanding, and I've never used a S/36 or S/38), is that
from a green screen user's perspective, there's obvious differences
between S/36, S/38 and AS/400....
Now compare that to the difference's between AS/400, iSeries, System
i, POWER running IBM i...
It's no wonder the users still call it AS/400!

Jerry,
It was not quite clear.
Did you call the AS/400 a S/36, because it could run S/36 applications?
Did you call the AS/400 a S/38, because it could run S/38 applications?
If the answer is yes, then calling IBM i an AS/400 is the same thing.
If no, then...
Do you call IBM i an AS/400 because it can run AS/400 applications?
