Here's a wet dream for all you "power" users out there: The apple Sales
rep to Caltech was in the other day and told me that there was a company in
San Diego developing an array processor card for the Mac II.
What I want to know is when is the Cray coprocessor card going to come
out?

There is no realizable power that man cannot, in time, fashion the
tools to attain, nor any power so secure that the naked ape will not
abuse it. So it is written in the genetic cards -- only physics and
war hold him in check. And also the wife who wants him home by five,
of course.

If so, we want one. We lose dd49's so often that some _reliable_ storage would be nice :-). Steve Dorner dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu
