Check out the similarities between the p640 and the 44P-260. There are
others that share a comparable similarity.

Ehhh, that'd be a matter of interpretation, on both counts. As far as
I know, the 7043-260 was the last system badged "RS/6000". The current
pSeries, both POWER4- and POWER5-based, are architecturally different
enough from their ancestors to make "just a name change" not tenable.
The OS is the only real point of overlap.
The changes from AS/400 to iSeries are comparable. ...
Not funny VAX.
I still use and am a fan of IBM PS/2's. So are a couple others on
here. A few still use IBM RS6000 machines and one or two use
AS/400's. Please watch the generalizations...
What do you mean by "still use"? These machines are still in production!
