Great! Is it still in operation mode, or only a museum piece? I found an article that may be related (also Bradbury) and they call it "true museum piece": http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57411871-1/crave-visits-the-cray-1-a-true-museum-piece/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57411871-1/crave-visits-...
I read on Wikipedia that e.g. NCAR turned off their Cray-1 in 1988. Though it would be really cool if there is still a Cray-1 in an useable state.
I stood next to Cray-1, Cray X-MP and Cray-2 supercomputers in museums in Europe (London, Munich). The unique cooling system that also acts as bench was a nice idea. And the second one was submerged in an (special) oil tank.
