It's not a mainframe, but I'd still call it "big iron" relative to
the size of most machines today. The LCM's KL10 (which,
by the way, doesn't seem to be responding over Telnet)
would certainly qualify. Fun exercise in semantics: does the
TOAD-1 qualify?

Hmm, I though a VAX of 11/780 size qualified as big iron. If not, what does? The LCM's VAX is a lot of fun. There are
numerous compilers, if you're into
languages. I very much appreciate the service. It's even more fun since
I've actually seen the machine is person - I love knowing there is some big
iron in a room far away that I'm timesharing on :-)
It may be fun but it
isn't "big iron!"
