Agreed. The point I'm trying to make is that  Top500 type systems have
tricked down into mainstream use.

And re. Android yes indeed - and it is not great that we can say the
Linux kernel runs on everything from the smartphone in your pocket,
to the webserver your phone contacts to see if it will be raining this
afternoon, to the supercomputers the Met Office uses to predict rain
this afternoon?
