Friday Story: Throwing things out the window reminds me of when I worked
on the 3rd floor of the Edison Building in Long Beach, CA (visible in
one of the scenes in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"), and someone ran up
to me telling me I better go move my car. It was parked outside near an
old apartment building where a woman was throwing heavy things (TV,
furniture, etc.) out the 2nd story window while yelling loudly at
someone. My car was just below the window and somehow managed to avoid
being hit.

Got it, thanks. At first I was thinking zBX too, but that wasn't
available 30 years ago. Then thought maybe AS/400, which people (not
me) sometimes call Mainframes.
Now I'm trying to remember if I ever threw one of my old x86 boxes out
the window. Probably out the door, but not a window.

Had I seen the term hybrid mainframe out of context then I would have
taken it as ZBX, but I assume that Greg meant a small system
compatible with a mainframe, e.g., P/390, PDT.

Maybe just for me, but what's a Hybrid Mainframe?

That depends on what you mean by "mainframe". By the classic
definition, those aren't mainframes.

As a guy who has spent more than 30 years at both IBM and FSI
building hybrid mainframes for customers that I could both lift and
throw out of a window if I had a reason, I can say that there are
certainly two t-shirt designs on that site that were ill conceived.
No thanks.
