I'm not exactly sure what Alinga is these days, but I don't know that
I'd call it an "enormous" Sun box (If it's got less than about 30 CPUs
then it doesn't clasify as enormous)! However I can still remember being
very impressed by it many years ago when it was something like a quad
processor Sun 630MP with about 64 megs of memory!

The very imaginative "Computer Cluster", made up of a couble of Vax machines
(it's good to see they are still just about to decommission it - they have
been for about 4 years now :)
A few other Newcastle Uni machines :
frey, mystra (Hi Alan), mars, venus, pluto (Hi Doug?), peach (the colour,
not the fruit), lily, <a few other colours I can't remember> (Hi Kate),
design (Hi me!), seagoon, brolga, wombat, newcutter, etc, etc
