And don't forget that they also sold the SAME truck (OK OK with four
headlamps) as a GMC. Your analogy fails. :-) :-)

On the other hand, the fact is that you drove Chevrolets. Those are all
Chevrolets. They are unique models within GM, but they are all
Chevrolets.

I maintain IBM could make the whole discussion go away by proclaiming a
"Silverlake" division, embracing all of the various Silverlake models,
from Sys/3 to the i.

Four letters, not that hard to memorize: IBM i. AS/400 is so last

Besides just like GM, IBM hasn't changed their name. GM Changes names
too. The first truck I drove from them was a 'Custom 20' or C20 now they
have Colorado, Avalanche, Silverado. And nobody whines....

Why? Why does someone need to spend hours memorizing confusing names
and genealogy before one can even begin to understand a product?

If GM can keep the Chevrolet nameplate for 80+ years without it being
stale then it'd seem a no-brainer for IBM to keep the AS400 badge alive.
