There have been some requests for more context on the quote I posted.
The issue is that the Columbia people working on non-von Neumann
architectures are now proposing to build NON-VON 4, their fourth
machine. However, NON-VONs 1 to 3 are either unfinished or were never
started, according to the writer quoted, and the writer doesn't think
much of this.
My point in posting this is that it is significant that it appeared
in the National Science Foundation's publication. The people with the
money may be losing patience.
