Look to Cray. Again, you don't know what you are talking about.

Didn't take me "immense time and resources" to get a 60 million dollar Cray C90 in 1994. Took a half-dozen phone calls, a little scheduling, and away we went. Of course the people at Cray knew me, knew I knew what I was doing, and that I wouldn't embarass them. I could see where _you_ might have a much more difficult time getting someone to give you machine time... > >Yes it makes perfect sense to me. > >You are living in the past, i posted it before. you are living in never-never land.
