Just because they can't defend their position here (not having USENET :-):

  >16.000 MFLOPS - by the above definition (10-JAN-1933)
	European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts
	Shinfield Park
	Reading RG2 9AX
	England
	1)	Cray C90/16	16.000 MFLOPS
	2)	Cray Y-MP8/864	 ?.??? MFLOPS
	   ... smaller gear ...
