*tsk* And that page gets it wrong-POWER is an acronym, should always be capped. 
In the old days, IBM had trademark police who would have fixed that!

As Dana noted, the  platform formerly known as AS/400 (never AS400, as the 
Verizon report has it) has been rebranded repeatedly:
AS/400
iSeries
System i
IBM i for POWER Systems (or just "IBM i")
and soon probably just a symbol [I tried to send the Prince symbol here but the 
list rejected it]

And here we thought "System/360" to "System/370" to "System/390" to "zSeries" 
to "System z" to "z Systems" was confusing!
