Hello folks, I'm sorry if you find this posting inappropriate for this news group. We are currently looking to buy a super computer. We have currently heard sales pitches from Convex, Alliant, Intel, NCube, Cray and Thinking Machines. I would be interested (that is why I posted :-) to hear any comment that you have about any of these companies or any of their products. Also if you have a favorite or least favorite company that is not on my list, I would also like to hear from you. We are fairly sure that we want a UNIX based OS, and it must be good at running Fortran (our Researchers don't want to reprogram, but are willing to go to a Parallel architecture. (Yes, I've tried to tell them that that is not trivial, but...)) If there is interest in this topic I will gladly summarize to the net. Please send responses via Email, I will also be reading here thou if you can't get mail to me, but I do not want to cause alot of traffic, unless you all want alot of traffic. Thanks for you time, Curt -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curt Vandetta College of Oceanography curt@oce.orst.edu Oregon State University
