I would point out that the largest technology company in the world in terms of market capitalization, Apple, is now selling the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Apple also still sells the iPhone 5s, and Apple only very recently withdrew the iPhone 4s from its remaining markets (from India, for example). Here are some other mobile phone examples: Huawei G610s, G620s, U5900s, P1s, and 5s; Xolo Q510s, Q520s, Q600s, Q610s, Q700s, Q710s, Q900s, Q1000s, A510s, A700s, and A1000s; Ericsson T10s, T18s, T20s, T28s, T29s, A1013s, and R310s; LG GM650s; Pantech PG-1000s; Sony Xperia Z1s; HTC Desire 626s, One M8s, and One M9s. Some of you may have Hewlett-Packard 6s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 35s, 39gs, and 40gs calculators. In the automotive world, BMW has or had the 318is, 320is, 335is, and 535is models, as examples, and there are plenty of "s" trim levels available from other manufacturers. There are also many human model names that end in s. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, James, Charles, Alexis, and Nicholas have ranked in the top five most popular baby names in at least certain years in that country. And Francis might be a particularly familiar name. ....OK, you get the idea. IBM z13s is a perfectly fine name and an even better machine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
