Wow.  Obviously pretty expensive.  That stuff is a long way down the road.
And buy the time I can get it, things will have probably progressed such
that Octane2s are affordable, and maybe I'd be considering something else
other than the Crays.  Who knows.  I've had enough dreaming about future
hardware.  If I do too much of that, it ruins my productivity and again
makes me depressed.
