John:
You are absolutely correct.
When IBM, "... even renamed their mainframes to 'servers'," it resulted in some light-hearted jokes amongst IBM mainframers."
Although I follow IBM quite closely, I did not even have to read IBM's quarterly, annual reports, or news releases to learn about IBMs masterful word magic. When these changes occurred, I read about it in the updated systems news that comes up every time I log into my IBM mainframe, woops, 'server' account.
Hey, if word magic works, more power to them!
Lynn, currently accessing SI through an IBM 'server'
P.S. I still use more 'server' software than PC software.
