Other attractions are the nice looking enclosure and the
brand name, that make it an object of desire.
Come on now.. Haven't you always wanted a *Cray* of your very own?
Nope.
I would be happy to use them at national facilities, TeraGrid, etc.
Real Crays belong there.
They make sense there.
Besides, other than the logo, the CX1 doesn't sound as a Cray.
Where is the the innovation in architecture design, the push for new
levels of performance?
I wonder what Seymour Cray would say of it.
Think of it like a BMW 1-series or Baby Benz
... Ferraris, Lamborghinis ... (yawn)
I have other aesthetic interests.
I drive a rusty 93 Honda Accord, which makes about 30 miles per gallon.
Who can ask for anything more?
Hmmm ... a new radio, maybe, to listen to WBGO 88.3 FM Jazz Newark with
less hissing.
I can ask for something less, though.
If I lived in NY City, with subway, buses, etc, I wouldn't have a car,
it would be just an unnecessary annoyance.
Not to mention Hubbert's peak and global warming.
