	Let's get real, now.  All I've heard has been that new micros
are catching up to the Cray 1.  The Cray 1 was developed in the early
seventies, and released around '78 (just about the same time as the
11/780).

	the fact that micros are catching up with a ten year old
machine seems to be nothing special; it is what one would expect;
after all, it's been 10 years...

	The real thing to note here is that micros are squeezing out
the purported market that mini supers were suposed to fill...
