Of course, you
may own a Cray 1 as your personal computer (used in the
"accepted" meaning of personal property), but that doesn't make a Cray 1
a "personal computer" in the taxonomical sense.
Let me offer that when a person talks about a 'personal computer', it
can be *anything*, including a cray-1. If, however, they talk about a
'peecee', then it probably means what you are referring to above.
