Not necessarily.  Look to Cray.

Again, you don't know what you are talking about.  But that's hardly a surprise
at this point...

You might well end up being surprised at where I "show up"...

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...

you are living in never-never land.  I'll take the past any day.
