[Beowulf] Virginia Tech upgrade

[Douglas Eadline, Cluster World Magazine]

The first thought I had was "what will they do with all the old systems?"

Then it hit me. They put a fancy sticker on each box that says
"This machine was part of the third fastest supercomputer on the planet 
Nov. 2003" or something similar. Also put a serial number on the tag and 
provide a "certificate of authenticity" from VT. My guess is they can make 
a little bit on the whole deal. I wager they would sell rather quickly. 
Alumni eat this kind of thing up.

For those interested, my old www.cluster-rant.com site has morphed into
the new www.clusterworld.com site. You can check out issue contents, 
submit stories, check out the polls, and rant about clusters.
