Good Roadmap but it really needs to be 32 years of history starting with the System/38 in 1976 which was the start of the totally integrated operating system and relational database with the OS running the first CL which is still the same today on the IBM i. Even the System/36 which was hearlded as the simple to use system and was used as part of the AS/400 was only stripped of some of its best features while the System/38 was the same base machine that the IBM i is today.
