Judging by the number of computer questions that I receive where the sender has selected the mainframe category that in fact have nothing whatever to do with mainframe computers, I’d say that there are a lot of people who have no idea what a mainframe is.

Well one of those people finally decided to ask the question giving me the opportunity to explain how to tell if the computer you want to ask a question about is a mainframe. So now there is no excuse for anyone to make that mistake again is there?

What is a Mainframe?
