The eServer i5, i5/OS V5R3 Continue the AS/400 Transformation
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM will tomorrow announce what this newsletter has been reporting for quite some time: that OS/400 will be the first of IBM's four platforms to make use of the Power5 processors and the related "Squadron" server platforms. The new Squadrons, which will be sold as the eServer i5 servers, and their related OS/400 operating system, which has the new i5/OS V5R3 moniker, continue the transformation of the AS/400 system, from 1988, to a more modern and flexible server.

IBM Launches Express Bundles to Push iSeries Sales
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM is expected to refresh its iSeries midrange server line soon with Power5-based servers, and two weeks ago it slashed prices on existing iSeries machines to help keep sales humming until the new ones arrive.

Mad Dog 21/21: Flea Circuits
by Hesh Wiener

A couple years ago, when Midge and Madge were still with us, Professor A.G. Gertsacov played Times Square with them. Midge and Madge were trained fleas, whose efforts may have inspired the semiconductor industry's chip monks, people who usually feel quite differently about bugs.
