How the Mighty Have Fallen

This is sad. A couple in Silicon Valley picked up an old Cray supercomputer, once worth $5 million, for a song and have turned it into a corner seat for the nursery.

From State of the Art to kitsch in only 19 years. It's like seeing the International Space Station turned into a hotel for billionaire tourists.

Oh, wait...

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
