I gather that DB2 on a mainframe tends to whoop it's ass, but I don't
know any specifics.  
While I'm thinking of it, I just found out that they replaced the S/390s
at my dad's office with some new IBM mainframe.  Anybody know anything
about these?  I'd like to take a stab at the mainframe world, but it
seems to be one of those "closed systems".

P.S.  Why isn't the E10000 a mainframe?  It comes with a mainframe
pricetag...
