   Just found a gem on Cray arithmetic, which (rightly) incurred   
   The Wrath of Kahan:

   "Pessimism comes less from the error-analyst's dour personality   
   than from his mental model of computer arithmetic."   
      
   I also had to look up "equipollent".   
      
   I assume many people in this group know this, but for those who   
   don't, it is well worth reading.
