'Raptor' was originally called something else. Lots of code names have been used - the
original system in that space was 'Flagstaff'
How many years ago was it that SUN first compared mainframes to dinosaurs?
The z800 hase a lot of memory so it is appropriate that they chose the name raptor,
since it was a small, smart dinosaur. Only 3 feet tall? But I thought it was really
'velociraptor'
but I guess you need Velocity Software'

The 'IBM unearths Raptor' story is either deliberately intended to mislead, or the
author has
such a poor appreciation of what IBM did that he/she should be disciplined and not be
published again without a stringent review.
The second one, by an IBM employee, is actually pretty funny. Both worth
reading, in any case.
