Cray was # a better cooling system than CPU designer. When his cooling systems # failed, the solder in the box melted. I'm pretty sure he was also the # first person to build a liquid-cooled CPU - and he did it in # commercial quantities. Cray in the last several years have always used third-party processors and sub-components (like MIPS and Alpha processors). -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
