It's been relatively quiet in IBM i land recently. Power-Up 2026 has come and gone. People are getting back to work and implementing what they learned.

 

That being said, it seemed like a good time to post a page of info on the system. I'm sure it will bring back a few memories for people in IBM i nation. It may even bring a few smirks as well.
