Re: Software Vendors (And US too) - A small rant

Looks like I have to repeat myself.

The smaller number of IBM i searches is because we have not yet started
writing IBM i on the web wholesale. Once we get off our complaints and
actually promote the platform branding that we will have for at least
another 14 years, then the complaint becomes moot. Catch 22 is so
difficult when everyone is making excuses, rather than talking about how
good IBM i on Power really can be.

sorry, I was too brief.

the current set of google search results for
as/400: 2,650,000,000
IBM i: 174,000,000
iseries: 5,420,000
system i: 812,000,000

what is the union of these sets?
If it is not high enough, then i guess I will
do multiple searches...
(I don't care about what number is bigger)




current search for
windows: 3,350,000,000
?what was it called in 1994?
?what was it called in 2000?
?what was it called in 2004?

Really, you want to argue that one?

You google "IBM i" - that was sorted out in 2008.

And, if more people would post "IBM i" to the web, then there would be
"IBM i" searches available. If you are complaining and not contributing,
then you are just complaining.
