	You can pass them on, as I'm sure I could use one of those
clusters (Quake 300 fps?). However, one thing about Cray is the
compilers they provide, which are rather good, or so I've heard. But I
guess you can just get a few alphas, one of these myrinet (sp?) cards
and download the free alpha compilers off the dec (or compaq, to go with
the times) site, and off you go...
