PCs never replaced mainframes, though the bigger brother of the PC (the server) has essentially replaced the mini. And without a keyboard and real multitasking (and, for me , a command line), tablets won't replace PCs, except for low end tasks.. On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 12:42, Jonathan Link

You're still mostly wooshing here. Never did I say I bought into these concepts, but this is how it often appears to the uninitiated into the arcane art of IT. I, of course, know that mainframes didn't die, but most of the work of the data processing department was subsumed in many organizations
