just wondering if the mainframe, mini and micro terms are vanishing.

There are still quite a few mainframes that I would have trouble calling
a microcomputer. Even the machines with multiple microprocessors
running in lock-step. The processor is the board with the multiple
microprocessors and the lock-stepping and result-comparison hardware.
