Re: AS/400 Server

What's in a name anyway? If you Google 'Steve Landess', you'll find that he is a gay porn producer.

Once we got our user community used to referring to the system as
the AS/400 (and it took years to make them forget the System/38),
it's difficult to train them to call it the "iSeries," let alone
Power System. One step at a time! I think calling it the iSeries is
possible now... just barely!

I think the difficulty is that the system runs the same old programs
the same old way (well, a -faster- way), but to the users there was
no difference, no change. No learning new programs, no weeks of
'migration' fun, no loss of data (including printouts in the output
queues they use like file cabinets)!

So, as far as the users are concerned, the fact that we're running on
a power system with a SAN running the disks instead of directly
attached disk means nothing-- to them, nothing's changed!!
