not sure i agree with the 1988 AS400 could not run IBM i, IBM i is just
the latest version of OS 400, and the system has always supported OS 400.
I couldn't run windows XP on a PC that supported windows 3.1, But it
doesn't make it a different machine because there were upgrade to
technology in between.

will

it take for you to stop calling it an AS/400? at what architectural

change?

[When will I stop calling myself jde.iseries? ]
I am fully aware that a significant percentage of IBM insiders and IBM i
users still call it the AS400

The 1988 AS400 could not run IBM i, AIX, Linux, nor Windows on IXS or

IXA.
