Since at least discussing Supercomputers is on-topic, I guess we can
proceed...

It's an interesting sales point, but as those who are even more in the know
than I have said, a large cluster of computers is *not* a supercomputer;
there are (see comp.sys.super for more details) classes of problem that
each lends itself to, and that the other does not. But of course, any computer
can be used to do what any other computer can do, so it may be a moot point.
