As I said, it *was* the 70s. Love beads, Nehru
jackets, leisure suits and
other things were in vogue, along with orange shag carpeting, bright primary
colors for indoor furnishings and "midicomputer".
You miss my point. "Midicomputer" was *not* in vogue. If it was, it
would have a larger presence in Ngram, especially relative to
"minicomputer" (I will exclude mainframe, as it was a far more common
word amongst non-computer people).
