I can’t speak to mainframes directly, but the greatest joy and the greatest learning I’ve experience have always seemed to come from legacy systems. If you ever get to visit Seattle,
Paul Allen, before his death, set up something called “The Living Computer Museum” [1]. I think it was maybe $4 in admission, but you could literally sit down and program a working PDP 1 (via a teletype machine for both input and output), PDP 11, Xerox Alto, Windows 3.1, and spectacularly, a Cray 1 supercomputer.
