Imagine that Cray decides to make a personal computer.

It has a 500 MIPS processor, 200Mb of RAM, 1500Mb of disk storage, a screen
resolution of 4096 x 4096 pixels with 16777216 colours, relies entirely on
voice recognition for input, fits in your shirt pocket and costs $300.

What is the first question the computer community asks?

"Is it PC compatible?"
