RE: System name

Stop it, James. I know you're trying to be cute, but there are people reading this forum who won't recognize your frivolity. Adam's request sounds like he's preparing a legitimate presentation to such people. Don't mock him.

In one of the many discussions that have been held on this forum

from AS/400 to iSeries to System i to IBM i with the corresponding
hardware (CISC, RISC, Power 4, Power 5, Power 6...).

Don't bother. IBM changes the name more often than most people change their underwear.
