Cray J932SE (was Re: Straight 8 up on Ebay just now)

I worked with a Cray for a while of about the same vintage (pre-SGI Cray running UNICOS and using an Sun SPARC Classic as a helper). It was a large telco (MCI) and used for fraud-detection on calling cards. It was a UNICOS-based system in a private Colorado Springs datacenter about two blocks from some sort of manufacturing site for Cray (the building is on Rockrimmon in Colorado Springs - the former home of the late Seymour Cray). I thought the whole rig was interesting, but it was barely a few weeks before the whole company went through a near-death experience (two words: Bernie Ebbers) and I walked across the street to another company and scored a new gig (it was the late 90's, you could do that sort of thing then). I never got a chance to get really proficient with the hardware or with UNICOS. It was my singular regret with that gig, though. -Swift
