Pete,
You're probably one of those people who use kilograms and grams, rather than
pounds and ounces as God intended, right? It's the AS/400, dammit. ;-)

Yes, yes, OK, OK, you're right, let's call it the i400 or something. But for
the moment, and for a long while to come, you will have to say "i400 (A.K.A.
AS/400)", 'cos no one has heard of the i400.

If IBM's crack marketing team is up to its usual standard, perhaps they
never will.

If you just say i400, people will think that you are talking about something
running one of those nasty *nix OSs. Or worse, one of those *really* nasty
Micros~1 OSs.

Keep the Faith.
