[David R.Matusiak <dave AT matusiak.org>]

The world's 3rd greatest supercomputer (Virginia Tech's "Big Mac") will  
soon be dismantled in order to build Version 2.  This time, VT will be  
taking advantage of Apple's new G5 X-Serve 1U rack devices.  The new  
installation will not only save floor space (down to 1,000 square feet  
from 3,000), but will also consume less power (about 60% of current  
usage) and offer ECC (Error Correcting Code) RAM.  Also on tap is  
Panther Server which is designed to squeeze the most performance out of  
the G5 processor.

The change is expected to be completed by May.  These folks are amazing!
