As for 3090's being supercomputers...Don't bet on it!!

We have a 3090-400 running in our shop, and some recent rumors have us inter-
ested in another manufacturer's machine (a plug compatable) that's supposed
to be TWICE as fast. 

An IBM 3090-400 runs about 50 MIPS (That's strictly a guess!!)

I won't name names because it's all in the rumor stage right now.
