The Thinking Machines MEGA project is planned to achieve somewhere around
1 TFLOPS, i remember seeing an article posted somewhere (here?). I'd like to 
here how that project is advancing ;)

I just read in Parallelogram that Steve Wallach now believes in Massively
Parallel processing and has started a project based on some 'new' ideas
he has ;-). Lets all jump on the band wagon.. isn't anyone going to defend
