The new $6 .5 million system will arrive with a one million word capacity and will be upgraded to two million words in July. The first Cray 1S for Livermore arrived in September 1980 and had a half million word capacity. It was upgraded in February 1983 to one million words. The next Cray for Albuquerque is scheduled for delivery in February 1985. RETIRING- (left to right): Bob Hofford (8272), Walt Dzugan (8424), Mo Jones (8168), Cathy Banks (8264).
