Over the weekend I had call to think of THE NEXT buzzword.
In the begining, there was the Computer.  Then came the MINI-computer [DEC],
and the first became the mainframe.  Next came the SUPERcomputer.
When Convex introduced the mini-supercomputer.  SCS had the term Crayette
introduced.  After 4 hours of driving thru snow and rain it hit me the
next buzzword will be

	mini-massive parallelism
or
	massive mini-parallelism 8).

Just buzzwords, who said anything about making complete sense.
Send mail if you have a comment you want me to read.  I am posting
here because it was suggested to me.

Another gross generalization from

  Do you expect anything but generalizations on the net?
