Mr Timothy Prickett Morgan is not and never has been a great fan of mainframes. If you have ever read his comments, he always comes across as being anti-M/F and to some extent anti-IBM. As to the number of M/F sites in the world today? Where did he get this number from? As Bobbie Justice said, he probably doesn't read enough airline magazines! The number is much closer to 6,000, although no one knows for certain, not even IBM. The number of individual systems installed is obviously far greater than that.
TPM's resume shows that he has very little background in M/F matters - except writing magazine articles, but mainly about mid-range systems. And as to any experience of working with M/Fs... in the words of the (in)famous Phil Payne, nuff said.....

No, this can't be right, obviously whoever wrote this article is not
eading enough airline magazines.
