Re: AS/400 vs. IBM i

agree, but to achieve the world gets about the capabilities, i prefer going to call it the "yes machine" (yes, it can).
I am not sure who it was, but it is based on some IBMer having this as a topic on his speech...

Some months ago i met an old friend i didn't see for about 15 years. He's in the web hosting business. I told about
us hosting "real computers". His first question was, if "AS/400 really can do TCP/IP?".
I almost killed him...

If I apply your logic though it is a System/38 because many commands are the same and the screen looks the same.

The point about using the "right" name is more a question of avoiding having a very modern, very capable system branded as being "old fashioned" - because like it or not that is how "AS/400" is viewed but the outside world.
