RE: Classes for IBMi/iSeries?

["Morgan, Paul" <Paul.Morgan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is IBM depreciating the hardware or OS names?  When did the DB2 database do a name switch?  Maybe we're really DB2 (instead of AS400 or iSeries or i5 or System i or RPG or COBOL) programmers and just don't want to rebrand ourselves.

What is interesting, is that your IBM link has only got System i classes.
No IBMi/iSeries.

If you want to confuse the branding, just go to an IBM website.. Seems to
me that if you have this incredible OS on the best server on the planet,
you would want to be a tad more consistent. That might help the community..
