RE: What is the name of the platform we work on?

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering when David would chime in and tell us that "This is not appropriate for a technical forum."  

Since I was in error, we call our two systems Servo and Crow - after the robots on MST3K.  Not my idea; I'm too low on the totem pole for that.  But, when I get on the paging system and have to get our users to sign off, I use "System i".  My boss uses "AS/400".  They seem to know what we're talking about.  

It's search engines that get twisted.

Not to pick nits ... but the VRM nomenclature has been abandoned.  It's now 'IBM i 6.1'.
