Is this really what they said? I ask because Seymour Cray is not the
CEO of CRI, John Rollwagon is.  Everything else jives with what I've
heard though.  But then the Cray 2 already has 2 Gigabytes of RAM
and 4 parallel processing units in a C-shaped container the size of
an average desk.

  these, the sole remaining props of my old age, and leave me to go
  through the remainder of life unfriended, unprotected, and alone?
Pirate: Well, yes; that's the idea.
