The price of such a thing made my mind boggle as well. It makes me wonder what equivalent devices exist today in the '10x what is affordable' price bracket which we will all be enjoying and taking for granted in 30 years.

Any guesses?

I'm guessing a small proportion of the Earth's population will be cyborgs, but I am a Ghost In The Shell fan.

Thought I'd work out how much mass in UK copper coins would be required to buy 19 Crays ...

just over 72,000 tons, you'd need about 10 class 37 freight trains to haul that.
