When it comes to mainframes IBM is the standard setter as well as the
established standard. I mostly worked on IBM systems; but at one point I
worked on a UNISYS system that was essentially a weird adaptation of Linux.
One of its oddities was that if you typed a line and happened to have the
cursor before end of the line the right portion of the line was lost. The
system was more of a mini computer than a real mainframe.
IBM is the standard bearer in computer design even when it came to laptops,
just see how well IBM designed the Thinkpads.

IBM is not the only maker of Mainframes.
I understand that Fujitsu still makes mainframes.
Does UNISYS still make mainframes?
How about Honeywell Bull?
Why don't we see these systems being discussed (or maybe I just
don't frequent the right web sites)?
