Cray?

"... His first love was an Iraqi super computer, a poster of which he had pinned to his bedroom wall. ..Cray?"

Not sure, but probably not. The timing is out.

Cray Research, the company started in '72 and released it's first machine, the Cray 1 in '76. As a side note the current Cray, the XT5 is billed as the "world's most scalable Linux supercomputer" ~ http://www.cray.com/Assets/PDF/about/cray_factsheet.pdf

No, maybe a 4K Nova ~ http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/dg-nova.html

>It is clear his teenage shyness is a thing of the past, but his inner geek certainly remains. Who else but the co-founder of Apple would name his dogs X, Y and Z, and consider naming his child Zowoz "because it's a palindrome"?

Wow. Just... wow.
