Two questions come to mind. Aren't he sales of supercomputers restricted so that they are not used against us for military purposes? And with the low cost here, will the price of supercomputers be forced to drop so thjat they are generally affordable? Prices in the tens of millions seem to be now out of the question when you can just hire a couple of computer scientists from Illinois to build one.

The definition of a super computer (as defined by IBM) is (I believe) 1,000,000 mflops/sec. This means that your average computer could be probably considered in this category nowadays.
