Thanks.

I notice that they stopped capitalizing POWER with Power10. I preferred the capitalization since it stands for "Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC". I wonder whose idea it was to change it.

Capitalisation looks a bit old-fashioned. Memories of LISP, FORTRAN, ALGOL, COBOL, DOS, CICS, IMS, MVS, VM/CMS... Even FORTRAN and LISP are normally Fortran and Lisp nowadays.
