mainframes weren't 32 bit though. They were *much more* than 32

 don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it's not just a straight 32 bit
 machine :D 
 360 and early 370 was 24-bit. They switched to 32-bit (or 31-bit) later. 
 
   Ahh, but by what definition?  You're obviously talking about the
addressing capability.  I was talking about data paths, and by that
definition they're all 32-bit.
