When people describe my IBMi system as a mainframe, I don't correct them. It's not accurate, but for them it's something they can conceptualize.

I agree this is an acceptable oversimplification for most people.

midrange. Wikipedia says "midrange" is merely a newer term for
"minicomputer", and that the definition of minicomputer has always
been fuzzy.
