RE: When an AS/400 is called an iSeries

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, I wonder how many drivers will assume you love your iPod.....  Apple seems 
to have won the i-market.....

Just a quick observation about i....  I wonder what has happened to the meaning 
of "i".  When the letter branding began, i was purported to stand for 
integration, p for power, and so forth.  Today, whenever I search IBM for 
integration, I invariably get hits for Websphere Integration products and 
services.  Ironically, some of these products are not supported on System i.... 
 

Still, I like the bumper sticker approach.....

Thanks for your efforts,
Eric

While it might cost IBM a pittance, I fear it is up to us to make that
happen. In fact, I made one some time back!

I just set the price to the cost, in case you wanted to invest the huge
amount of $2.99 plus shipping :-)


And I would be happy to make more varieties... let me know!
