No, I'm pretty sure Mr Cray would love all the progress and miniaturisation.

While on the subject of Cray, I very nearly purchased the old Cray super computer from Sydney University about ~3-4 years ago. It was being auctioned on eBay and was given away for peanuts .... But, it was going to be one long road trip to collect it .... several 1,000 Km of country roads. The machine had hardware issues (a failed disk pack, etc), and I was worried about the road trip's effect on it and getting the machine back up and running where I live after being shaken and rattled for such a distance (and many 100's of Km from the nearest city).

Still, would have loved to have a Cray in my house .... Then again, I have never met a piece of old computer junk I didn't like .... I gave away several garden sheds full of old computers (old PCs XTs / ATs, Ingigo workstations, etc, etc) a few years ago. So I should know when enough is enough ....

Personal issues (cough, cough, cancer) knocked a lot of dreams on the head ...
