- Yeah, Rick, that's great, but I hope you aren't getting the readers too
- excited. What
- you have forgotten to tell them is Taligent management's plan to sell
- Pink for
- $99,999,999.95 for the personal Cray. They may still not be able to
- afford to run
- it even if it is available on that platform and they buy one :-) :-)
