Fruit is way more interesting than Hydra.

There is plenty of hype concerning a ten million dollar machine with very few
games and tons of pompous, overblown marketing.

In 5 years, Fruit will blow its doors off.  The custom hardware will not get any
faster.  But an SMP version of Fruit could run on a 16 CPU box with each CPU
having 8 cores.

And _we_ could buy it.

Why would anyone care about Hydra?
