Pardon my ruffled feathers, but IMHO this is not so! The Butterfly was a fine example of a massively parallel computer. It was, unfortunately, seldom deployed with the full complement of 128 processors. The only problem with the architecture was the "flexible-bus" technology which made maintenance a bit unweildy. BTW - I believe that the C/30 probably has the best uptime record of any packet processor. Many are documented as up 100% for years.
Well, perhaps they should have a) chosen a different front end, and b) provided better cooling. The one at FIX-East sat there for years, cooking, with the Mac on top cooking with it. Gee, wonder why the Mac would space out every so often?
