Unix today: SGI emerges from bankruptcy!

I know this is sort of old news, but on October 17th, Silicon Graphics emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company's market share was being eaten by Apple and other companies that were strongly competing with SGI. SGI plans to end its mips line this December, and will use a new platform next year.

SGI

I forgot to tell you. SGI machines are my favorite computers. Fast, efficient, mips-based IRIX workstations. My particular favorite is the O2, but the Indigo, Octane, Iris, Onyx, Tezro and Origin are also cool. Unlike beige i386-based PCs, like my Gateway, SGIs are blue and magenta and purple and turquoise.
Here are some photos:
