Just a nit, but Thinking Machines is still in business, and has had their first few profitable quarters. www.think.com
The current Thinking Machines is a software firm, and Daniel Hillis is no longer amongst the top management. The name lives on, but the business of designing, building, and selling exotic supercomputers is kaput. Not an uncommon story in the computer business. Even Control Data Corporation still exists in a transmogrified form, although their mainframe business went up in smoke ages ago. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd@netcom.com $ via Finger. $
