1980 Cray Time

Boeing had a Cray-1 Super-Computer, and I was the only kid on my block to get time on it.

Boeing had a Cray-1 Super-Computer.... and since they couldn't use it 100% of the time, so they would sell/lease any excess computer time to companies that didn't have one. My Dad worked for Boeing Computer Services, selling that excess capacity. I was into computers and the only kid on my block or school that logged any Cray-time.

Cray Time - Boeing had a Cray-1 Super-Computer.... and since they couldn't use it 100% of the time, and these things (and thus time on them) cost a fortune, they would sell/lease any excess computer time to companies that didn't have a Cray-1 Super-Computer. My Dad worked for Boeing Computer Services, selling that excess capacity. Since I was into computers, I could get time on the machines. I was definitely the only kid on my block or school that had logged Cray-time.
