I'm sure IBM will sell you a 64K node machine if you ask
them. You might need to mug Bill Gates or something though.
Hell it might even be possible to persuede BillG to back
some research.

I suspect what would happen is that a bunch of guys with a
big pile of mag-tapes would turn up in black helicopters
and commandeer your machine despite your protests that an
American's Garage is his Castle. :(
