It's fitting that tribute be paid to Seymour Cray from Mac aficianados as well as from others. Apple, some years ago, bought a Cray supercomputer. Later, John Scully (Apple chief) met Cray and told him Apple was designing the next generation of Macs on the Cray. At that point Cray laughed and remarked that he uses a Mac to design the next generation of Crays. -Jim Keohane
