This commentary on the National High Performance Computing and Communications Initiative, and the associated National Information Infrastructure does not set forth a complete new program. This is not necessary---the current federal program is ``almost right on.'' Rather we present a set of remarks based on the involvement of applications and industry in the program. We will consider both the industries that use HPCC as well as those that (will) produce the new HPCC software and system products that will drive the integration of HPCC into the mainline computer industry.
