OK - maybe I was confused....

Barry Margolin suggested that maybe the original comment arrived
at $10/GFLOP, not a $10K 1-GFLOP machine.  That would mean a
$10M 1-TFLOP machine.

while i still think that's low, it isn't as unreasonable as
i first thought when i interpreted it as impying a $10K 1-GFLOP
machine.

i now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.
