I am slightly obsessed with this. It's the sort of thing I wouldn't mind on a mug or a t-shirt š
As most people know, Apple owned a Cray for a relatively unsuccessful first stab at their own processor design.
This was uploaded by the wonderful @bitsavers recently!

Also, apparently they managed to get Mac OS running on a Macintosh emulator on the Cray??
ā.. they sometimes ran the first XMP as a single user MacOS emulator ā¦ They had a custom built frame buffer and a mouse hooked up to the IOP (Input/Output Processor).ā

> Seymour said he thought it was odd that Apple bought a Cray to design Macs because he was using Macs to design Crays. He sent me his designs for the Cray 3 in MacDraw on a floppy.
Iād like to see those.
That's amazing, but abusing line art with JPEG compression like that is a crime. XD
Got a link? ;)
@DosFox Proportionally speaking, that would be a HUGE mouse attached to it.
(But wow, cool all those documents!)
Bonus points for people who know why the Cray was purple (along with all of the Herman Miller cubes in VG3)
