What computer do you prefer? post #1  quote:



Choose from this list:

Sun Microsystems
Macintosh
PC
Cray
Mainframe

My order of preference:

1) Cray
2) Mainframe
3) Macintosh
4) Sun Microsystems
5) PC

Problem is I cannot fit a mainframe through my front door. I would have to take out a wall. Hope is on the way because they seem to be shrinking in size.

What would I do with a mainframe in my house? I have no idea.

No it didn't.

Amdahl was bought out by Fujitsu.

Now it is junk.

What's a Cray and why should I care?

It's a valid question.

It's a supercomputer.
Crunches processes like herd of a million Rottweiler dogs.

Caring is optional.
