Open-Apple, Feb '87 mentions a Wall Street Journal article...

Recently, Apple Computer Inc. purchased a $14.5 [million] Cray Research
supercomputer to aid in the design of their next-generation Apple computers.

John Rollwagen, Cray Research Inc. chief executive, told Seymour Cray about
how Apple was using their newly purchased Cray supercomputer.  "There was a
pause on the other end of the line, and Seymour said `That's interesting,
