I'm reminded of the guy a few apartments down from us when I was in my
teens, in the early 1980s. A friend of his got "a computer". He said
he saw "the TV, the typewriter, and the disk drive".

I don't think there is real definition of a
Mainframe, its what you want
it to be at the time....
What is especially funny is when computer ILLiterates, such as college
administrators, think that it is two words "main frame", and think that
that means the box that the computer is in, aka "the Tower".
