          1. Any hardware requiring raised flooring and special power.
          Used especially of old minicomputers and mainframes, in
          contrast with newer microprocessor-based machines.
       
          In a famous quote from the 1988 Unix EXPO, Bill Joy compared
          the liquid-cooled mainframe in the massive IBM display with
          a grazing dinosaur "with a truck outside pumping its bodily
          fluids through it".  IBM was not amused.
       
          Compare big iron; see also dinosaurs mating.
       
          2. [IBM] A very conservative user; a zipperhead.
