   That's the cool thing... the way you manage it is by having thousands   
   of users, each on their own linux box, sending short transactions to   
   the big IBM machine.  No more terminal performance bottlenecks, and no   
   more worries about operations being more or less atomic.  It solves both   
   ends of the problem at the same time.
