You’re going to have definitional issues.
For example, take the minicomputer: Originally, it was a computer in the company car price range (tens of thousands of dollars, as opposed to hundreds of thousands or more) which was physically smaller and cheaper to run than a “real” computer, which everyone in 1960 knew was an IBM which took its own room and A/C unit and polyester-clad card-punch-operating DP Professionals to run. This was enabled by the fact transistors allowed us to put, like, five whole components on a card smaller than your average sandwich! (Oooh, aaah!)
Laugh all you want, but the PDP-8 family sold like hotcakes and found itself integrated into things like assembly lines, doing stuff that previously had been done by specialized machinery because any previous computer would have been too big, too temperamental, and too expensive to use there.
By the mid-1970s, the new Tiny Joke Systems were these cute little things being made by fruit companies that only idiots bought stock in and bizarre little boxes named after places Captain Kirk went to. Minicomputers were now the middle of the pack, not the ultra-low-end, running database software and actual, you know, operating systems, instead of being the computer you used when you were too poor to afford a computer.
By the time the VAX came out, it was extremely hard to tell where the minis ended and the mainframes began: Everything was built around microprocessors, everything ran some variety of Real OS (Multiple Real OSes, in the case of a System/370 running VM/370 and a few guests…), and the budget systems were now clearly targeted at home users, which minicomputers never were. (Well, there was that one time, but a one-off recipe database system in a clearly deranged wish book shouldn’t count…)
So, did the minicomputer die off when the VAX brought a minicomputer architecture to the high end? Did it die when mainframes found a niche as high-volume high-availability databases instead of being the default style of computer? Or did the basic concept evolve into what we now call rack-mounted systems, somewhat specialized versions of PCs designed to do networking tasks?
I don’t take any firm stand. I will restate my point: This thread will get mired down in people arguing over what, exactly, qualifies as “obsolete” and expanding definitions in odd ways to prove points.
