That's just silly...name one product you use without having a name for it.

Users are going to call it something, in fact users do call it
something..."the AS/400"...

If management were to start talking about "IBM POWER running IBM i",
the users would say "huh?"...

Judging by our SAP implementation....w/o the green screen the system
would be known only the name of the application running on it. "SAP
(server(s))" not IBM POWER running AIX..
