That was the first Cray I ever saw. I don't think I knew anyone who was a chip designer back then (at apple or anywhere else) so that shows how leaky the "security" was. When I actually programmed one (a few years later, at NASA Ames) it was clear that running Unix (UNICOS) on a Cray was stupid. The machine was designed for highly pipelined vector FORTRAN and the continual branching of the C model was fog slow. Really it should have been designed as a vector processor fed by a host rather than as a standalone machine.
