I was talking to someone about this at the kit meet (sorry I forget who) Whoever it was, Your prediction was pretty much spot on.
Ummm, it might have been me? I've been worried about SGI ever since I went for a meeting at their HQ about 6 years ago. They seemed to do everything on a very expensive/ostentatious basis, I'm guessing using the money they made in the late 80's early 90's doing visualisation stuff. I could just see at the time that cheap Linux clusters were going to give them a good stomping in time.
I wish I still had my Indy so I could give it a hug.
I want an SGI Origin 2000 with lots of cpus and ram, I absolutely love their kit (even though it did run Irix) it was really good stuff and the cases are the coolest and most stylish in the business, people may say how cool Macs look but compared to the SGI stuff they don't even figure on the cool hardware radar.
I hope they pull it all back together, I really do.
Thanks Adam
