| Cray Supercomputer Finds Afterlife
Fascinating stuff, it's good that it's not just being broken up for scrap too.
From the description: Unit input: 30 amp 250V Plug.
I thought that it was 120v in the US? |

The guy that has the high bid in on this one recently paid $50,000 for an Apple 1! Talk about a waste of money!! | |

All I can think of is that he is probably going to get a Cray supercomputer for less than he paid for an apple 1. Hmmmm...there has to be some irony in there somewhere!

The year is 2020 and a small child is overheard asking his mother, "Mommy, what is an Apple?" | |
