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

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trevor, I was told yesterday by someone who would know these things that 
the name of the platform is now "i Power System" or a name close to 
that.  I did not write it down, and do not have the wording exactly 
correct.  I _do_ know it is a name I hadn't heard before.  If its a year 
old, then the word is _not_ getting out.

I understand your position on this issue, and that you are an evangelist 
for the various names.  I also respect you and what you have done.

However there are a whole lot of us who have no desire to spend some 
fraction of every conversation with other users of the IBM midrange 
platform trying to dance around this topic.  There are a whole lot of us 
who are having trouble finding search topics with Google, and even doing 
searches on IBM's web sites.  This is not a moot issue.

In any event, I am not interested in a flame war.  I just want to know 
what its called right now, in July of 2009.  Apparently it is no longer 
a System i  or a iSeries or an i5.  My question was non-emotional, 
straight forward, and legitimate.
