The Cray is impressive technology, I used it in 1989/90/91, we developed
on DEC and targeted/tested on the Cray.  I do understand you point of
view, but this does not change my opinion.  :)

Now this would be interesting!  I agree that a 2000 Cray would be a
worthy opponent.  Bring it on!  This would not be my top pick, but
you are welcome to try to prove your point, if CB 2000 could win the
next WCCC, I would be impressed.  :)
