Len, >>I saw a little blurb in yesterday's USA Today about Intel and some (federal agency?) announcing the development of a super computer with tera-flop performance.<< This is a one of a kind super computer Intel developed for Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Intel has announced they won't develop any more of these, preferring, I guess, to concentrate on their main lines of business. I saw parts of it when on a business trip to one of Intel's Oregon facilities. It's really insignificant with respect to the stock price, unless you want to just contemplate the magnitude of the project and what other companies may be technically capable of doing it (not many). However, its announcement may have had something to do with the runup yesterday? BTW, they did a very nice job in the packaging aspect of the beast. I don't know anything about the software. My recollection is that it uses up to 9,000 Pentium Pros packaged in something like 140 separate frames. Really something for a company I remember as a little startup chip shop in Santa Clara. Tony
