Fred, Seymour Cray, the founder of Cray Research, left CDC (Control Data Corporation which later changed its name to something like Ceridian ). I believe Seymour died after an auto accident, that his company was taken over by SGI. I accept your "Field of Dreams" concept but one still must have a lot of skill and a bit of luck to correctly select the winning stocks. IMO, Ian.

OT You might be able to repeat your Cray success with Tera... this is a seattle company with a different approach to parallel processing. If their idea works they could take off...currently their first model is being brought up at ucsd. I interviewed there and it's a very academic place-don't know how they will fare businesswise but I would believe they have a genuinely good idea. They are public--TERA. I haven't bought any yet..or followed it for a while...but it's about time to take anouther look.
