1st one I saw was an NCR 304 at Camp Pendleton, CA in 1965. They now have a tendency to be geographically separated from the programmers.

Hi i am working on a Z BC 102 Mainframe.... I do the backup operations on it.....

I have seen the mainframe for the first time in Aug, 2006 at Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Thiruvananthapuram, India.

It was an IBM S/390 machine. There was a mid range machine too... a H-50.

The S/390 was an awesome machine. It was a pleasure working with that. Now, I have moved from there and, hardly get any chance to see the mainframe.

I suggest everyone ... never miss a chance to look at the mainframe... atleast once... you'll feel the difference.

Nice pics. I liked the mainframes that had lots of multi-colored lights flashing in front!
