Long ago, IBM created a beautiful server called the AS/400, carrying on a strong tradition of awesomeness from the System/38 and System/36. It was called AS/400 from 1988 to 2000-- long enough to cement the name in a thousand documents and a million minds. Then they re-branded it "iSeries eserver". And in 2006 they renamed it "System-I". Of course, for several years after each re-branding, vendors and users still produced emails, webpages, PDFs and so on using the older names.
So if I want to search for something to do with this platform, what do I type in? "System-I" is about the worst possible Google search term in the world! Thank you IBM...
