[geeks] SGI Sadness

Sat Jul 9 21:04:51 CDT 2005

Most of you probably saw the slashdot story today about SGI possibly being near bankruptcy.

I am very sad - if you go to Reputable.com, Greg Douglas is selling Octane's for $89 and up... a sure sign that the SGI market is tanking, IMHO.

I just find it sad that a once-great Unix company might end up being flushed and only the IP being kept.  Somewhere along the way SGI "lost it" and never recovered.

sigh...
