Welcome back, Zgf!

Okay ya got me. What're we looking at? I'm fairly certain it ain't a recycling bin...

[zgf2022]

NO! it's the original cray - 1 from the los alamos lab's thats in the los alamos mueseum

[zgf2022]

here's a shot of the spec sheet

that must have been one heck of a rig in '76!

8 mb memory, and only 11,000 pounds. there's only one word for that, Dang!
We've come a long way in 25 years

Cray = Supercomputer
Big time processing, could really tear apart ECCp back in its day... however I'm thinking a P3 could tear apart the original one nowadays lol
(maybe not quite, but its gettin' there.. the original has to be quite a few years old now)

I would still love it

Man, it would be cool

Where'd you go in 2500 miles?

[zgf2022]

crossed texas, drove through new mexico, saw my grandma and los alamos, drove through the petrified forest and then out to the grand canyon, stopped at the four corners and then drove back across colorado and back across texas

lotsa driving

*edit* forgot to add white sands missle range

ALL that? In 1 week?
