Summary: A horse and rabbit stew

I got a good laugh out of this one.  It reminds me of the joke
about how to make a horse and rabbit stew: take one horse and
one rabbit.

	   John Sculley ... said Apple had recently
	bought a [Cray] supercomputer for about
	$14.5 million and was using it to develop
	its next-generation Apple.
	   [Cray's chief executive John] Rollwagen
	said he hadn't wanted Apple to think this
	was a one-way street.  So, he said, "since
	they were good enough to buy one of our
	machines, some of us have bought a few
	of theirs."
	   Rollwagen also said he told Seymour Cray
	... about how Apple was using the machine.
	"There was a pause on the other end of the
	line," [he] recalls, "and Seymour said, 'That's
	interesting, because I'm designing the next
	Cray with an Apple.' "
