Oops.  Sigh.  Sorry.

Just goes to show what happens when you don't have radiation hardened
memory ;-)

Must have had it confused with the CDC 925.  I heard about both machines
from the same person well over a year ago - before the 925 was announced.  
Maybe he had 'em confused or maybe I do, or maybe they changed their minds.  
Yes, I do know who the "H" company is, but I'd better not say - maybe I 
misremember that too.

On a (almost) totally different topic - does anybody know what happened
to the Stanford S1 project?
