Very interesting article, thank you very much! I spent about 9 months in total in a mainframe team during my training, but that team mainly took care of hooking up the mainframes to the corporate network, so I did not do any coding except for small Perl script. (I came close to having to code in REXX, but I dodged that bullet. I played around with REXX at home and did not like it very much.) But it was very interesting to see all the examples of parallel evolution in the mainframe world, at least where the terminology was concerned. A reboot was an IPL (also used as a verb), the OS kernel was a nucleus (a term I really liked), they also had a term for network interfaces I forgot about. A strange but interesting world, it's a shame those beasts are so expensive.
