I don't know much about mainframes. However, last night I watched an
IBM presentation about mainframes on Youtube. Part 1 (of 5) is here:

After watching all five parts, it seems that (contrary to what I
thought) the mainframe is very much alive and in fact growing in
market-share and use due to cloud computing etc. Of course there
could be a bit of IBM spin in this.
But, it then begs the question. What is a mainframe anyway, and can a
clear distinction be made between the 'mainframe" and other server
technologies nowadays?
