While it's obvious in context that TheSource did not mean a supercomputer like how most in research think of it, since that's where I'm from I thought the exact same thing as Mazty so I'm going to agree with him. It was a poor term to use unless you have an extremely low bar for what you'd call a supercomputer. We have a 5 year old cluster at my department that I use to run theoretical chemistry calculations, I'd be quite impressed if any console could get do anywhere near what it can do.
