An article in the Minneapolis Tribune (not Herald, sorry) quoted him as saying that since the Cray 1 had been sped up--a recent development by an independent design team--that the Cray 2 wouldn't be fast enough. Looks like it's back to the drawing boards. If people are interested, I can probably be talked into typing in the good parts (eg. no company history, odd trivia, etc). On the other hand, Cray Research will probably be joining the net in the next few months, so maybe we can get some of this information second (instead of fourth or fifth) hand.
