/....blug again!
    I loved the basenote about all those consumer computers!!! Great stuff.
But what about...

Cray SuperComputer
+: Very fast for a six million dollar computer. Has everybody's credit
status stored in auxilliary memory. Can calculate the square root of 2
to an accuracy of 4 billion decimal points in only 3.45723 nanoseconds.

-: Big botch-up. Who has enough liquid nitrogen sitting around to cool down
that wiring, anyhow? Can't fit it onto a desktop. Won't play pacman. Has
very little entertainment software written for it. No popular magazines
available anywhere. This is one computer that is truly totally, absolutely,
and utterly useless for home computing. Clearly, the C64 is a superior
machine.
