I went looking for a picture of "our" machine, but couldn't find any
online. We had a Cray XMP on our machine floor. In the '80s, these were
considered top of the line cryptanalysis machines. We didn't use them
for that - we (well, the people we worked for) were solving chemistry
and astronomy problems with them. But they sure were impressive
machines for the time.

Here's a picture of a different one.

And for scale, some kids with this one.
