Well there was sort of an Oric, they listed "Oric Dragon 32" which
sounds as though there's a certain amount of bit rot in the
administrators memoery.
They could have managed one retro machine per server without too much
problem I would have thought, and how Cray fitted into the general theme
I've no idea.
Ignoring the Cray, the CBM Pet is the only one of those I haven't got,
but I won't start listing out all my ancient pieces of micro computing
history :)
