As I said in an earlier post, the machine is run from a pair of 80KVA 400 Hz	
motor generators; in addition you need power for the disk and tape farms,
air conditioning and water chilling (gallons per second at 47F or 8C). It is
not a cheap machine to run. Further the mandatory hardware maintenance lists
at something like $750K/yr, with software maintenance extra.
