One of my students has caused me a big ache stomach from laughter.
The question is "What is the difference between a mainframe and a server?"
Her first sentence describes the position of the switch in my lab (the physical position, eg. its on the left in the box attached to the wall). The second sentence describes some sort of super-computer that doesn't yet exist (to my knowledge at least) and mentions that it is under what she refers to as the mainframe.
