What you say
is true - most people, even professionals, do not know
what a mainframe was or is. The problem is that you are not observing
things as they are. Much of this is due to the outlook that Unix (and
Windows) people have - you assume the mainframe is dead, so you look
no further, and continue assuming the mainframe is dead. The mainframe
will not find you, and will not inform you.
Not how capitalism typically works, though.
In the mainframe market, being invisible has
advantages.
In the /market/ market, it has serious disadvantages.

I'll tell IBM to "get right on that". I'm sure they'll value your
sage
business advice.
