Connection Machines -- worthwhile or what?

[Nathaniel Howard]

I've been asked to find out what people think of connection machines, not
as an ideal, but rather as a day-to-day bread-and-butter kind of thing.  

Will folks who have actual experience with them (positive and negative)
and are willing to talk about them please get in touch with me?  I
expect my boss will want to talk to you by phone, so it would be best
to include your phone number.

Thanks a lot...

Oh yes -- I don't read any of the groups I'm posting to here, so 
please *don't* respond by followup -- or I won't see your response.
