   Funny guy. ;)  But no, I'm not running any of them now.  Money is 
REALLY tight for me these days...my current employment only eats a few 
hours per week of my time, but the pay isn't great.  Combine that with 
some unexpected expenses involving an uninsured rental truck and a low 
bridge, and...no power for the Crays.  I'd actually consider selling one 
or two of them at this point, if someone were to make a reasonable offer.
