[comp.sys.mac] Rumor of the Week

ra_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (05/16/89)

According to today's New York Times, a Chippewa Falls, Wis. paper (where Cray,
Inc. has a development and manufacturing facility) has reported that talks are
under way for Apple to purchase Cray.  Cray denies this.  Of note, though, is
that Cray indeed may be reorganized or sold to someone, according to the Times
article.

Yep, this is THE Cray, the one that makes supercomputers.  Just a rumor, but
stranger things have happened.

Strangely enough this morning's paper (SF Chron) talks about how Cray is
splitting into 2 companies (who will compete) ..... maybe Apple is buying
half of Cray .....
