Indeed. I wish there are more of them... Money is the problem, just to have a premium PC requires deep pockets full of money. Which leads me to wonder about this story which I read in the years 1980 and around. Apparently a man bought a mainframe (Cray 1?) and the US Congress was not happy with it. It seemed they don't like that individuals may own a supercomputers because they feared that it could be misused [1] to threaten the government's military computers or so goes the story. He was eventually allowed to buy and posses it. Was that story true or false? Could someone please enlighten me? Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - Their fears, if true, were indeed confirmed by all those wikileaks stories these days... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
