| | Obit on Seymour Cray |
 | | Cray, who as a young electrical engineer at Control Data Corp. in the late 1950s led the design of the world's first transistor-based computer, went on to develop a string of supercomputing machines that were known for their elegance and simplicity, but most of all for their blazing speed. |
 | | Cray was born Sept. 23, 1925, in Chippewa Falls, Wisc., where he attended school, displaying an early fascination with radio, electric motors and electrical circuits. |
 | | Cray is survived by two daughters, Susan Borman of Eua Claire, Wisc., and Carolyn Arnold of Minneapolis; a son, Steven, of Chippewa Falls; a sister, Carol Kersten of Rochester, Minn., and five grandchildren. |
