If you think the Tera MTA is competing with the Cray T90 you're deluding yourself - it's possible to buy a working T90 right now. Tera is more likely to find itself competing with the Origin2000.

Of course, you can also buy a Origin2k right now, too, and we're ahead of Tera on the scaleability issue.

Once again, I agree. The high-end market is already buying T90's from Cray.


The T90 is a junky machine?

We've got some pretty big machines now, and Tera has a CPU. There's a long way to go.
