-It started life as the Application System/400 ... or [[AS/400]].
-It combined the best of S/38 and S/36, leaning on S/38 for [[OS]] foundation and S/36 for user-friendliness.  Many [[IBM]] customers on S/36 [[SSP]] were slow to embrace the [[AS/400]] so [[IBM]] introduced the Advanced System 36 ... or [[AS/36]] which had several models such as [[AS/236]] and [[AS/436]] with upgrade paths to [[AS/400]] models.
-Around the year 2000, IBM changed it's name to [[eServer]] [[iSeries]] (The "i" indicating "Integrated"?)
-Then, in 2004, the name was changed to [[i5]].  The "5" referring to the [[Power5 Processor]] that was at the heart of the system.  At the same time [[OS/400]] was renamed to [[i5/OS]].
-Confused?  I sure am.
