I read that
Cray sold a total of 40 Cray-1's, so even 20% doesn't leave
too many intact machines (although it makes my memory board fairly common
if 16000 were produced).
But how many Cybers are still around? How many ETAs? Even (non-super) IBM
S/360s are very rare (thousands made, maybe a dozen left).
