[net.arch] Ametek Supercomputer

	I recently saw a quarterly or annual report from a conglomerate
company called Ametek (listed on the NYSE).  In it they were lauding
their new supercomputer patterned after (or is) the Caltech hypercube
machine.  I thought Intel was the only one hypercubing 286's?  This
machine was never named, but was touted to have 64 nodes.  Ametek
made it sound like they were Chuck Seitz's best friend and perennial
financial supporter.  What's the story?
