Cray-1 Memory BoardAhhh...one of my greatest possessions: An old memory board from a Cray-1 Supercomputer.   I found it on eBay for $50 back in 2004, and have since remounted it onto a wooden placard.   The supercomputer from which it came from was sold to Lawrence Liver Laboratory for $19 million in the late '70s and was retired in 1990.  A man named Tony Cole purchased the machine in 1993 for $10,101.01 and broke it up for resale.
