I don't remember which SN, though it was a very low number one.  Was it the
first X-MP/2X that went to Digital Productions, Inc, even before DoE got one?
I seem to recall some DoE annoyance that one of Cray's machine went to another
customer first...

Anyway, it was October of 1983, according to my fallible long term memory.
