heck even "bumblebee" seems to have disappeared too.

We all have forgotten "Black Box" and/or "Little Black Box" Remember
That? Or was that considered just a color change ;-)

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!
