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!
