Re: OS400 vs AIX

[VERNON HAMBERG Owner <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are gradually bringing people to the new name. IBM's midrange system has been around here almost from its beginning, at least 1992, so far as I know. As you, Jack, I don't get too het up over the older names. I do say that my boss wants a quarter in the jar every time someone says "AS/400", and then I might say he has several of my dollars already.


Cheers
Vern

I follow the rule we programmers use about protocols: "Be rigid in what you
transmit and lenient in what you accept."
I always say "IBM i" but I don't argue with folks who call it by the older
platform names. "A rose by any other name ..."
