I know, they're not called AS/400s any more.
We're on a POWER 8 box,
an 8286-41A. But until IBM comes up with a new name that's an improvement
over AS/400, we're sticking with that name. Apple was already using the
letter i, and giving the platform a single letter name makes searching
for online information about the platform a challenge.
I think the ""proper (yes, with (air)quotes) name is "IBM i". So
it's
not a single letter. But it is a collision ala "A. Pope" from National
Treasure. (Yes, that scene blew my mind. Hence it's the canonical
example that I use.)
