IMHO names like System z or System p or System i are not good. For us
it's clear what is "z", but for uneducated people it looks like typo,
just unnecessary character in the sentence.
Here in Poland people still tend to use RS/6000 (with silent slash -
just R-S-six-thousand) or AS/400 or mainframe.
Names like "gismo", "turbolaser", "HGW300" are much easier to catch-eye
or search or google, and cannot be ignored as a typo.

as part of the title so you can cut and paste the whole thing.
No sign of a renaming of the OSes, so don't get too excited.

Indeed. I spotted this in this month's IBM Systems Mag, including that it's a
(r), was surprised.
Guess I need to update my
"z/What?<http://ourdigitalmags.com/publication/?i=318194&article_id=2525479&view=articleBrowser&ver=html5#{%22issue_id%22:318194,%22numpages%22:1,%22view%22:%22articleBrowser%22,%22article_id%22:%222525479%22}>"
article already!
One thing that maybe makes sense: the former AS/400/iSeries/System i renamed itself to "IBM
i" a while ago. So "IBM Z" would fit with that...other than, of course, the
uppercase-ness.
