And a lot are very poorly qualified. I got one yesterday for a "mainframe job" that was on an

I don't necessarily blame the recruiter for that one, but would you work for a
company that wasn't sure what they were running? I mean, somebody there had to
write the req...
You might be surprised how many companies' management, end users, and even IT
staff still refer to them as the 'AS/400'
Actually I say "System i, formerly known as AS/400". That's because
"system i" is not recognized. "system" is widely used in a lot of cases,
"i" sounds like some stutter, it is too short. Any longer name like
"System Gismo", "System George", "System Rapid1" would be better
recognized.
Not to mention i-stuff from Apple and confusion. What is OS name for
System i? It was" i5/OS", now it is "IBM i". In short just "i". "i
operating system". And "iOS" is Apple OS. There were no confusion with
OS/400.
