RE: Marketing question about AS/400 name

["Don" <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Lou,

It will have the SAME name that we're hearing more and more used for
it...the name that I've not heard be used for ANYTHING except possibly rare
instances of HP-3000's....The same name I heard a lot of people use for it
this week at a conference I was at...

The name:  "LEGACY"

    The sad truth is, going on history I would say that in a "couple 
of years" there will be yet another name for it.  And no doubt a host 
of people telling us why we must change to it.  Shades of 1984.
