Too bad Seymour Cray is no longer around to pick on, or to inspire.
I was lucky enough to tour the Chippewa Falls facility early on - serial number 5 of the Cray-1 was undergoing final tests before delivery.
We were lucky enough to see Seymour in his office. He pointed to a pumpkin on his desk, and declared that it was the Cray-3. His daughter had grown it, and since she knew he was already working on a Cray-2, she decided this would be the Cray-3.
