No. iSeries, pSeries, xSeries, zSeries begat System i, System p,
System x, System z. Now that they've converged the i and p hardware,
IBM is playing games with i -- it's now just "i", no  "System" or
"Series" (stupid -- unsearchable!).

There was no tSeries; there are ThinkPads in various lines, including
A, G, R, T, X and sometimes Z, but (a) note the caps and (b) you're
talking about entirely different branding. Confusing, yes.

System x are IBM server-quality hardware, rack or blade. That includes
Netfinity -- Google x330 and look at the first hit (admittedly old, it
says xSeries rather than System x).

If you want to get an IBM marketroid upset, get this stuff wrong :-)

(Actually, it's worse than that: chances are most IBM marketroids
can't keep it straight, although there will be IUO documents that
spell it all out in painful detail...)
