When was the last time you worked on a vector computer with 14gig of RAM?

Just because 2xP${FAST} is nearly as quick, it doesn't mean it _WILL_ be
as quick for everything.

Personally, I'd be _real turned on_ at the idea of writing vector code
for the thing and I'll be quite happy to contribute funds to get the thing
and ship it here. Even with my brokeness.
