 "Governor Bill Richardson today helped launch eight "gateway" sites,
  which will link communities across the state to New Mexico's Supercomputer,
  Encanto, and announced another 25 sites will come online soon. Encanto
  is the fastest public supercomputer in the world."

 ""The opening of these Supercomputer gateways is significant to New Mexico's
  economic and high-tech future," Governor Richardson said. "We're bringing
  the highest level of supercomputing to every corner of the state, giving
  New Mexicans the opportunity to tap in to its remarkable educational and
  economic possibilities.""
