Hmmm....  Me thinks that you got your facts a bit messed up,
Cray is hardly bankrupt, it is now a subsidiary of SGI, the
supercomputer division, and we are still cranking out the
fastest machines ever made.  SGI bought us just over a year ago.

Go check out http://www.cray.com/ if you don't believe me...

And yes, Seymour Cray did recently die in a car crash in
Colorodo.  He started Cray Computer Corp (CCC) out there quite a 
few years back, and was not involved with Cray Research since then.
There is a tribute to him on the Cray web page.
