Well, Cray has been bought by SGI. Have a look at 

http://www.sgi.com/products/supercomputers.html

I looks like the T90 is the front machine for vector processing now. If
you arie into parallel computing the T3E should be your choice (some
here in Stuttgart prefer the NEC SX-4 for it's different memory
architecture). I don't know about the design changes but the FORTRAN
code that worked on the older machines also worked on the newer ones.

Still nice computers!
