[net.rumor] The new cray

The rumor around here is that the new Cray PC has been scrapped.  The new
project is for a laptop with a 500 Meg read/write internal optical disk.
Speeds are suppost to be comparable to the present Crays.  The name you
ask?  The "Cray-Z".

jeff "in sunny downtown Rochester"(or something like that)

This is obviously an obscure ethnic joke, since everyone who speaks
English (as opposed to American) knows that Z is pronounced "zed". :-)
