Gosh - I think we mainframe types need to do some image adjustment... just for 
play, these were the only Z worlds I could find that
were at least amusing. ;) Personally, I think the zSeries machines have the 
market zipped up, because they can change their Zebra
like stripes and play iSeries or pSeries machines at will these days. ;)

Anyway, for your amuzement... :

zSeries is for:

Main Entry: Z particle
Function: noun
Date: 1979
: a neutral elementary particle about 90 times heavier than a proton that along 
:with the W particle is a transmitter of the weak
force -- called also Z0 or Z0 particle

or for:

Main Entry: ze.ner diode
Pronunciation: 'zE-n&r-, 'ze-
Function: noun
Etymology: Clarence M. Zener died 1993 American physicist
Date: 1957
Usage: often capitalized Z
: a silicon semiconductor device used especially as a voltage regulator


or even for:

Main Entry: zig.gu.rat
Pronunciation: 'zi-g&-"rat
Function: noun
Etymology: Akkadian ziqqurratu
Date: 1877
: an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower consisting of a lofty pyramidal 
:structure built in successive stages with outside staircases
and a shrine at the top




And mainframe administrators, or those of us who find ourselves needing to be a 
mainframe administrator,  salesperson, programmer,
and general all around evangelist wind up like:

      Main Entry: zo.ea
      Pronunciation: zO-'E-&
      Function: noun
      Etymology: New Latin, from Greek zOE life
      Date: circa 1890
      Inflected Form(s): plural zo.eae /-'E-"E/; or zo.eas; zo.eae /-'E-&z/
      : a free-swimming planktonic larval form of many decapod crustaceans and 
especially crabs that has a relatively large
cephalothorax, conspicuous eyes, and fringed antennae and mouthparts
