PCframes? mainCs? It is hard to define rigorously, but as someone else quoted SCOTUS,
"I know it when I see it".
In common use, I'd argue (not very vociferously, I admit) that only IBM
machines-and maybe Fujitsus-are really mainframes: The others are just very
large computers. But this may be due entirely by the fact that I have to
explain to sales reps on a regular basis that our z/OS support means IBM
machines, not Unisys or whatever!
