Ick!
$15,000 is just too much for this machine. The ELs really are slow things
(a couple hundered MFLOPs tops, and I am sure it does not do well on the
LINPACK scale either) - but then again if you want a Cray that can be run
in your house (no joke), an EL or J series Y-MP is just the thing.
But I wanna Cray...any Cray...
