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.
Just like approximately everyone else. I have even heard IBMers
involved with the machines stick to AS/400, although I am sure there
have been reams of internal memos printed that command them otherwise.
The change to z stuck, but the change to i was a bit of a disaster.
