Side note, and I know its off topic, but I hope you let it through
Terry...
A "beowoulf cluster computer" is a fancy name for a special version of
Linux that was developed to do massively parallel work. You can build
one of these beasties for less than 3K, if you wanted. That would
be for a 5 node system (with 466 Celerons, 128K ram, No disk for 4 nodes
a switching hub, and a master system that has disk and etc.)

Btw.. I suspect that you mean Gigaflop.. but I could be wrong.
