I am looking for some information about the Connection
Machine from MIT/Thinking Machines Inc.  Could someone
send me some pointers for some real articles?  Or an
article with a good bibliography?  I've found plenty 
of popular literature articles, but the only technical 
paper I've found is the MIT memo by Hillis.  Thanks
in advance.

      Daniel Hillis has written a book entitled 
"The Connection Machine".  It is available through the Library of Computer 
and Informaiton Sciences (book club).  I am sure that It can be found elsewhere.I just recieved the book and It seems very readable if not intriguing.  

Hope I have Helped,

Also, if all you have read is the old AI memo, you should definitely
read the book, |The Connection Machine|, by Danny Hillis, published
last year by the MIT Press.
