Ed, Very impressive. I am laughing at all the "computer scientists" at this site who are saying "Ho-Hum". I am sure that IBM will do quite well without them. 20,000,000,000,000 calculations per second and 260,000/2.2 Kilograms. That is about 17,000,000 calculations per Kilo. Nicht Schlecht! I could get high on that.
