For processing the data?  Remember, I'm talking about the
postprocessing; it doesn't matter what system wrote the data.

Cybers were popular back then for people who expected to do serious
crunching, even if not all the time.  That's the only reason I was
wondering -- it wasn't even as much as an assumption...
