2013 and the word "Mainframes"...

Post by Anuj Dhawan »

I was in a client-meet where they asked everyone to introduce themselves. It started from one corner of the room and evetually I introduced myself... ending my intro with (and also starting with) that I work on/with "mainframes" -- and they causght me on this -- for them it was zOS, "no one says it Mainframes any more".

This made me thinking -- should we start using some other name for Mainframes rather than MVS, zOS or OS-390...?
Thanks,
