Around 1988, I got to see a >$40M Cray 2 in person, and wondered what could be done with all that power thrown at a single user interface. [pats iPhone 5]

Shocking to think the Cray 2 was cutting edge at 1.9 GFLOPS in 1985. The A7 processors in your iphone? Around 75 GFLOPS or so.

Still blows my mind we've come that far, that fast.
