How do those big refrigerated shack things work which they have on the back
of satellite up stations? They have some kind of weird refrigeration plant
on the back of them which looks like jet engines. I've never seen inside
one but I know where one is and I know someone who might be able to get me
inside one day. If I ask real nicely. :) Should I be scared of being fried
by microwaves?

CRAY computers is/was actually owned by IBM. The story goes that IBM saw
the genius of Seymor but they thought he was just too crazy for their
image. So they gave him his own company to play with.
