[comp.arch] Another Mainframe question...

I've recently posted a question concerning the definition of mainframes and
(super)mini computers. This question has been (more or less) been answered in
this newsgroup.

My new question (concerning the same subject). Recently I've read a series of
`old' articles; The yearly `Hardware Roundup' from Computerworld. There I saw
they used the International Data Corp.'s (IDC) definitions for several computer
categories to place systems in groups with their likely competitors.

Does anyone know what these definitions are? (I hope this question hasn't been
answered already in a recent previous posting.... :-)
