My German is a little rusty... to the point I don't speak it. Thanks
to Babelfish I got the following info: (the translation is kinda
funny, hence why I posted it...) 68DM is <$100, so it's not a bad
deal. Transatlantic shipping, though...

This is not a late April joke!!! 1 Cray Supercomputer,
array processor with 4 PCUs, 256 megawords primary
storages. FDDI -, HIPPI INTERFACES as well as further
I/O subsystems dangers under the UNIX Betriebsystem
Unicos 10,0,0,6, tapping tipp-topp waited (end of
the servicing contract 20,4,2001, can be extended
however. I think times that the name Cray admit am and
save therefore further descriptions. If still questions
are, I answer these gladly by mail. Now to the serious
part of the auction: It will want probably hardly
someone the complete system (weight 8 tons, connected
load 66 KW). But for collecting tanks, Freaks, etc.,
is perhaps nice it, itself a Main board to place fixed
disk or the like or other sections in the shelf.
Therefore the three highest bidders receive the
opportunity, a ORIGINALTEIL of these Cray, fully
functionally too ersteigern. Proceeds of this auction
go to a non-profit donation Notes: Unfortunately
increased forwarding expenses due to the weight and
padded packing (expenditure!). Buyer carries dispatch
in Germany 20DM,VK, foreign country postage extra costs.
No supply into Eastern European states. I take over
Ebay fees (should be actually natural!). And if you
look into my other auctions, you find perhaps still
somewhat and save postage costs. To 10.04.01

around 07:46:39 MESZ the salesman added the following
information: Due to many inquiries the here following
two supplements: 1. Picture under
http://www.epa.gov/nesc/30_resources/equipment/C94.html.

I ask for understanding that NO original pictures of these
Cray are shown here: It is located in a safety area,
therefore no pictures for the public. 2. The authenticity
and Originalitaer of the sections are acknowledged by a
oath-stately certificate (this for the inquiry of a
Scherzboldes, which mistook the thing with a Commodore
C64). Thus, hold you ran -- this is the last but one C94,s
which exists in this world. Whether you ever rankommt
again to sections, is thus very improbable Visitor counter
