Subject: Anyone still program chess on large mainframes??

10 to 20 years ago there were a lot of chess programs on mainframes and these
were competing in the ACM tournaments. All of a sudden they disappeared, cost
and the advances in PCs I'am assuming. However, seems like there must be someone
out there programming on a mainframe, I mean they are so superior in speed over
the PC's it's laughable. Last I heard Deep Blue no longer existed, and someone
was working on Socrates, but you never hear of that anymore either.
       Also, like to know where all the older programs are now, like Belle, Cray
Blitz, Nuchess, BEBE etc. Probably been erased or sitting on a shelf somewhere,
just curious if anyone knows.
