It does make googling for technical information difficult at times

 

Right, with a space after "IBM". Stupid name (and of course un-googleable:
"When I was at IBM, I used to." comes up instead), but it's the name. Not
AS/400, not iSeries, not System i, any more than that laptop you're on is a
Pentium (or a 386, or an 8086).

 

Of course many people still call it "AS/400"; a jobreq shouldn't. It might
*also* mention it, as in: "IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS/400)".

 

Yes, I'm being a purist here. But to me it just shows a lack of precision
that would be concerning in an employer-again, same as a PC jobreq that said
"Familiarity with Pentium computers".

 

Shmuel: No, different recruiting firms. Clearly some jobreq shows up on
indeed.com or something and the bottom-feeders get trolling.
