Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as "big iron") are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning and transaction processing.
The term originally referred to the large cabinets called "main frames" that housed the central processing unit and main memory of early computers. Later, the term was used to distinguish high-end commercial machines from less powerful units. Most large-scale computer system architectures were established in the 1960s, but continue to evolve.
Modern mainframe design is generally less defined by single-task computational speed (typically defined as MIPS rate or FLOPS in the case of floating point calculations), and more by:
Action Masters are a sub-line of the Transformers toy franchise, first released in 1990, with a wave of new releases released in Europe in 1991. It featured Transformers action figures who were unable to transform, but came with transforming partners, weapons or exo-suits. Some of the larger sets came with transforming vehicles or bases. This was the last sub-line release as part of the original Transformers toyline before the launch of Generation 2.
Action Masters were non-transformable 33⁄4 inch action figures designed to represent classic and new Transformers characters. Those based on existing characters, were designed to best match their appearance in the popular cartoon series, with the newer characters following the same basis design. Despite the lack of an ability to transform, they had more articulation than many of the Transformers toylines that preceded it, with moveable heads, arms, knees and legs. To complement the figures, each came with a transformable weapon, or in the case of the larger sets, a transformable vehicle.
Mainframe may refer to any of the following:
You stole my five minutes of fame
You told me time would heal the pain
This world would bring me something new
And like a child I trusted you
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
Just when I saw you as a friend
I caught you laughing once again
But evenso you live and learn
So I stole seven in return
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
Five minutes
