[rescue] We have decided to rehome the Origin 2000

[Bob Darlington]

64 nodes, 64 procs.  Cute.  ;-)

Our O2000 at the time was 48 nodes, 6144 processors.  128 procs each.   By
the time I got on the job it already dropped to #29 on the top500 in 2002.
The current big computer has the compute power of the previous entire
system down into just one rack.  Buck Rogers stuff.
