It looks really nice - but never understood the seating. Who came up with that?

It ensures the Cray is placed as the centerpiece of the room, not as mere equipment shoved on the wall

  • Probably they could achieve the same with circular construction but without the seats.

    • They needed someplace to put the power supplies anyway. The seat cushions just added a touch of whimsy. Could you imagine IBM putting seats around one of their computers?
