I think they did take your advice and plugged in their own name only they 
didn't stop at blue they got carried away like with turquoise, indigo, 
shocking, pale blue, sky blue, etc.  To an outsider, what the heck is an 
iSeries; eSeries; db2; os400; with linux; & windows that you can use java, C, 
cobol and rpg to program on???...(list continues)  

How do you describe such a versatile machine?   Hmmmmm....Blue sounds good 
except where the word's tenses go.  aeiouSeries?  aeiouSometimesyOS?  

Morning humor:)
