Seymour left CRAY Research to pursue the CRAY-3 in a new company named
CRAY Computers.  Under the divorce decree, CRAY Research will be paying
CRAY Computers about $200 Million a year for a number of years as alimony.
In addition, community property was split such that CRAY Computer got
the Colorado Springs complex and CRAY Research got to keep the Mandota
Heights complex along with Seymours tunnel and burned remains of Seymour's
boats.
