Re: Calling names - System i5

[CRPence <crp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  That comparison of GM and IBM branding hierarchy is the parallel I 
drew as well.  The problem with that view however, is that a full 
convergence of the System i&p would nullify either name.  Eliminating 
the System i&p achieves a naming as _OS-? on Hdw-!_ designation [as in 
the WinTel and others], but seems to break the stated alignment with the 
car manufacturer naming.?  Or perhaps, that would actually result in a 
more representative alignment?:

   IBM                             (GM)
   POWER based [System pi]         (Chevy)
   570                             (Silverado)
   Nbr of CPU, mem, & which OS(s)  (1500, ie, 1/2 ton)
   ;; upgrades and customization of either, after initial sale config
