   (crayon Cont['e] Cont['e]'s pencil, i. e., one made a black

crayon
     
        1. Someone who works on {Cray} {supercomputer}s.  More
        specifically, it implies a programmer, probably of the {CDC}
        ilk, probably male, and almost certainly wearing a tie
        (irrespective of gender).  Systems types who have a {Unix}
        background tend not to be described as crayons.
     
        2. A {computron} that participates only in {number crunching}.
     
        3. A unit of computational power equal to that of a single
        {Cray-1}.  There is a standard joke about this usage that
        derives from an old Crayola crayon promotional gimmick: When
        you buy 64 crayons you get a free sharpener.
