   Minor factoids:
   The X-MP was introduced in 1982/3 (not 1984, a papers yes that year) 
   Ames got SN 103 I think, Hugh LaMaster probably knows the specific date.

Ames got SN103 in early 1984.  I was site manager of the other computer
facility at the time and coordinated the installation.  The X-MP was
first discussed by CRI in 82, but it was late.  My defintion was for
first ship, not first vapor (;-)

   I think Cray will still sell you a Cray-2.  Just as your local Cray
   salesman. ;)

Nope.  Part of the deal with the spin off is that any Cray-2 machines
which weren't already in negotiation have to be sold by Cray Computer
rather than Cray Research.  If you go to CRI they'll try to change
your mind to a Y/MP.  If you go to Cray Computer, you may have trouble
finding a salesman, since they are still ramping up their staffing...
