<sigh>

Even IBM can't figure out what to call the AS400 / iSeries / i5.

Recently I visited a IBM web page that was describing a local event ... here's a fragment of what is displayed:

Take a look at the title ... then look at the body.

The title refers to eServer iSeries ... while the body refers to eServer i5.

How can IBM expect the industry to embrace the system if there's no clear name for it?

It seems that IBM engineers have a sense of humor ... as noted in: IBM eServer iSeries Support: PTF Cover Letter: SI17148 ...

Before applying this PTF, stand and say three times: I will not permanently apply a TEST PTF

Thanks to Elvis Budimlic at Centerfield Technology for pointing it out in MIDRANGE-L.
