Just curious how many mainframes are in the world. And also how many mainf= rame people (sysprogs, developers, etc). I just wanted to know how exclusive a club am I in. Then of course I have = to decide if I want to belong to a club that would have me a member. Hopin= g it doesn't get to that. <SNIP> Are you referring to just IBM type mainframes, or do you wish to include UNISYS, and Honeywell (the ones that I remember and think are still manufacturing)? As to IBM mainframes, do you want to know how many are still under IBM service, or are running naked? In the latter case, I don't think IBM knows how many of those are out there -- until they need to get an upgrade.
