The Origin 2000 that I adminned for $ENGINEERING_FIRM had apparently come
from Sony's motion picture division at the time.

We had a SGI tech out to service it at one point, and he told me that the
difference between a "SGI Origin 2000" and a "Cray Origin 2000" was how
many CPUs the system had.  If it had <32, the power-on banner said "SGI",
if it had >=32 it banner said "Cray".

I suppose that a 32-proc O2K would be the easiest way for me to get my own
"Cray" at home, since an EL92/94 is an impossibility.
