Shoot, somewhere around http://www.intel.com/pressroom there's a story
about the new benchmarks in from the 9200-node pentium pro supercomputer
at Sandia National Labs. A linpack benchmark got it 1.34 teraflops, a
25% increase from the historic Dec 1996 benchmarking that first pole
vaulted the 1 teraflop level.

9200 200-MHz Pentium Pros, 573 Gig of system meory, and 2.25 Terabytes
of disk storage.

Just think of the SuperDuperPornoWebPage we could run if we had one...

a tape gun held at my temple struck me as almost comic.
