From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
demogroup n.   [{demoscene}] A group of {demo} (sense 4)    composers.   Job titles within a group include coders (the ones who    write programs), graphicians (the ones who painstakingly pixelate    the fine art), musicians (the music composers), {sysop}s,    traders/swappers (the ones who do the trading and other PR), and    organizers (in larger groups).   It is not uncommon for one person to    do multiple jobs, but it has been observed that good coders are    rarely good composers and vice versa.

dinosaur n.   1. Any hardware requiring raised flooring and    special power.   Used especially of old minis 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 {mainframe}.   2. [IBM] A very    conservative user; a {zipperhead}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
dinosaur pen n.   A traditional {mainframe} computer room    complete with raised flooring, special power, its own    ultra-heavy-duty air conditioning, and a side order of Halon fire    extinguishers.   See {boa}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
dinosaurs mating n.   Said to occur when yet another {big iron}    merger or buyout occurs; reflects a perception by hackers that these    signal another stage in the long, slow dying of the {mainframe}    industry.   In its glory days of the 1960s, it was `IBM and the Seven    Dwarves': Burroughs, Control Data, General Electric, Honeywell, NCR,    RCA, and Univac.   RCA and GE sold out early, and it was `IBM and the    Bunch' (Burroughs, Univac, NCR, Control Data, and Honeywell) for a    while.   Honeywell was bought out by Bull; Burroughs merged with    Univac to form Unisys (in 1984 -- this was when the phrase    `dinosaurs mating' was coined); and in 1991 AT&T absorbed NCR (but    spat it back out a few years later). Control Data still exists but    is no longer in the mainframe business.   More such earth-shaking    unions of doomed giants seem inevitable.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
dinosaurs mating          The activity said to occur when yet another {big       iron} merger or buy-out occurs; reflects a perception by       hackers that these signal another stage in the long, slow       dying of the {mainframe} industry.   Also described as       "elephants mating": lots of noise and action at a high level,       with an eventual outcome in the somewhat distant future.          In its glory days of the 1960s, it was "{IBM} and the Seven       Dwarves": {Burroughs}, {Control Data}, {General Electric},       {Honeywell}, {NCR}, {RCA}, and {Univac}.   Early on, RCA sold       out to Univac and GE also sold out, and it was "IBM and the       BUNCH" (an acronym for Burroughs, Univac, NCR, Control Data,       and Honeywell) for a while.   Honeywell was bought out by Bull.          Univac in turn merged with {Sperry} to form Sperry/Univac,       which was later merged (although the employees of Sperry       called it a hostile takeover) with Burroughs to form {Unisys}       in 1986 (this was when the phrase "dinosaurs mating" was       coined).   In 1991 {AT&T} absorbed NCR, only to spit it out       again in 1996.   Unisys bought {Convergent Technologies} in       1988 and later others.          More such earth-shaking unions of doomed giants seem       inevitable.          [More dates?]          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-07-10)
