Check out these pictures of an old-school supercomputer – this is the Cray X-MP 48, installed in the Chilton Computing Lab in 1986. This behemoth had 64 Mb of RAM and came with a free sofa.

Is it me or does it feel like the Cray is watching you?

    The thing I like best about Seymour Cray is the fact that he enjoyed digging tunnels under his house. How cool is that!

    What? Seriously? That is so cool :) Did he dig them for a reason or did he just…um…like tunneling?
