When John Sculley ran Apple Computer he said Apple had
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.' "
