   "They" have come out with a CRAY on a RISC chip on a card for macs (says a
friend of mine) for ~$21,000.  The supposedly are going to order one for modeling
in the Biology dept. here at Purdue.  (My friend works there on macs).  I don't
know anything else but You can all send him mail. (He can thank me for this later)
he is here at  : hilbish@en.ecn.purdue.edu  (128.46.129.59) 
          
P.S. Don't mention my name, that should really confuse him ;)  (just kidding)
