       I spent some hours at "Makuhari", an IBM facility near Tokyo. We were invited to see z-series mainframe hardware (not pictures allowed though..), and then hear details.punch-card readers and also other hardware was around.One of the colleagues confirmed upfront that there was no dress code - so I came with my SUN microsystems shirt.

       @globalc If you're talking to the mainframe guys in Japan, you might want to ask about the mainframe they saved during the earthquake.  It had physically fallen over during the big earthquake but was still running.
