Problems:

1.  Tony Scherzer passed away several years ago.  BeBe is gone.  And Bebe
wasn't a 'mainframe' it was just a custom piece of hardware sort of like Belle
only quite a bit slower.

2.  Belle is in the Smithsonian I believe.  At least that was Ken's plans the
last time we talked about belle...

Hitech is unknown at present, but its speed is nowhere near competitive with
current hardware (IE it did about 100-160K nodes per second, although with a
fairly decent evaluation in hardware).
