Since we're feeling all geek-like for a moment, here's a pic of the Cray I helped pick up for a guy I used to work with a few years back - this is in his home computer room. I was the only one strong enough to push it off the bed of the truck into his front door. Not sure who moved it when he moved from Laurel to Florida, I doubt it was him

Laurel to Florida? Did he used to work for Digex and own an electron microscope and Unimog as well?

Dave McGwire?

I have a special place in my heart for Unimogs.

That's the guy. He worked for Skycache as well (renamed to Cidera, later closed and sold off to Mainstream Data due to lack of venture capital). That's where I worked with him. Check out the rest of his site for some other cool photos, including the Badtz Maru, a former British Royal Navy warship that Doug Humphrey bought. He's the guy who founded both companies (with Dave's code-writing help)

Found a link to Doug's site showing the boat. Here's a pic from when he docked it at the inner harbor for ISPCon back when I worked there.

I haven't talked to him recently, I dunno. I wouldn't be surprised if he did - he's one seriously interesting individual

I met him, his neighbor "Big Mike" Mike Nicewonger, the guy that owns the warehouse across the railroad tracks, the guy that owns a whole bunch of lasers that are stored in said warehouse...

They are all interesting.

They introduced me to the heaven that is the Barbecue House, next door to the Eastern Motors car dealer up in Laurel... It's great after a day of raiding Crazy Rays.

However, the smilie at the end of your sentence, "He's one seriously interesting individual." leads me to believe you mean something else by interesting... Socially interesting perhaps?

The dude owns an electron microscope for Pete's sake...

I'm pretty sure Doug actually owns the warehouse, and another interesting character named Jon owns a large portion of what's stored there. Yea, Big Mike is a pretty cool guy too. And yes, BBQ House is heaven on earth.

With Dave, he's what I would consider eccentric, that's all. He's what I picture the kid in A Christmas Story growing up like. Because he'll definitely shoot his or someone else's eye out someday

NT is based on VMS, which is *NOT* anything like UNIX. This from someone who worked at DIGITAL when several of the VMS engineers left DIGITAL to go work at MS on NT.

I worked at the NCI on Ft Detrick in Frederick in 1997-1998, we had a few Crays there...

One of them was an old Cray Y-MP... that thing was huge... and it cost $10,000 per month to run between electricity, and coolant. (Yes, it had coolant running between all the circuit boards.)

We had a Cray J90 and J91 as well, but those were only the size of a large refrigerator, and air-cooled...

That place was fun too, we had some other cool computers... some SGI ONYX and SGI Origin 2000 "supercomputers," a DEC (DIGITAL) AlphaServer 8400 (8 633 MHz Alphas I believe), and a whole bunch of other machines that would be laughed at now, but were really fast back then.
