Tony Cole (with the Cray parts) used to peddle generic clones (V.I.P.C.)
He assembled a machine with the best of all of the parts that he had
available to him, and gold-plated the case "for RF shielding".
He got an amazing amount of "free ink", including front cover pictures in
magazines, that more than made up for the extravagant cost.
