BTW Bush, this has really gotta hurt

Not only did a piddly $5.2 million buy the third fastest supercomputer in the world (you could buy a hundred of these for the price of the rest of the Top 10), but it's made of 1,100 new PowerMacs.

But it gets worse! IBM is working on a new supercomputer using PowerPC chips, not Intel, that will rank at #1 when it comes out next year. It'll be the most compact supercomputer for the power delivered, and, too bad for you, it'll be running Linux.

Hardly. I've come to expect technology-challenged ivory tower academics to use Macs. These are the same guys that can't handle anything more than a one-button mouse. But very few businesses would entrust their enterprises to 'em. Even you, with your day job supporting PCs, have to admit that.
