   Speaking of Cray, the US Mint are issuing some new $1 coins featuring   
   various famous persons/things, and one of them has a depiction of the   
   Cray-1 on it.   
      
   From the photo I’ve seen, it’s an overhead view, looking like a   
   stylized letter C. So I wonder, even with the accompanying legend   
   “CRAY-1 SUPERCOMPUTER”, how many people will realize that’s actually a   
   picture of the computer?
