As a side note, there are plenty of Northstar Horizons chugging along right
alongside Cray X-MPs.  Cray used the Horizon as a console processor on the
X-MP (and maybe the Cray-1 and Cray-2, but I haven't spent a lot of time up
close and personal with those beasties to know).

The Y-MP uses some sort of OEMed Motorola thingamajig for their console
workstations (the COW, or Console Operator Workstation, and the MOW, or
Maintenance Operator Workstation -- also referred to by Cray-ons at the "MOO"
for obvious reasons.)  Did I get that right, Frank? :-)
