There is still an ES9141 model 440 operating at Wichita State University. It's located in the School of Business.

@amaranthflavius I mean OS/3xx

@amaranthflavius MS? Windows? I was talking about System/3xx! Open source? IBM was giving loyal customers the source code on microfilm when "open source" wasn't even a "word" yet.

@code123ns like it or not, its the most stable OS out ther at the moment, and you know why? because its open source and if ther is a problem in it, the community fixes it, unlike MS that prefers to pay and give hackers source code just to make them agree to not make anymore exploits on ther poorly written code.At the moment linux supports the most largest variety of architectures. In 20 years you will have a TB of ram just to enjoy you BSOD win and linux will be everywhere, even in your toaster

@amaranthflavius oh, yes this kernel panicking unix wannabe is popular, I'll give you that. Popular with the likes people who dared to call MySQL a database at time when it didn't even support transactions. It WILL get you alot from your PC based server, but I can't see why anyone would want to waste a high-end mainframe on it (and don't confuse them with super computers; lin is nice for that too).
I'm sad that IBM was in a place where it had to give in and help people port it there.
