Well I guess the Rocket man always wanted to be assimilated. Once or twice in the past I've expressed my opinion of Sgi's foray with the barney box. The worst OS combined with nec(NOt entirely Compatible) hardware and an extra 50 bucks on useless stylistic plastic so that urine would run off when the unit ended up in the head. My guess is that Mr. Rick is a great business man and embraced barney boondoggle. My guess is he simply doesn't see or understand that Linux is actually reunifying unix. Or it may be a case of why take a chance when he knows how much money the borgmeister has. I wish Rick well but I think he is going to the wrong place at the wrong time. He may make a lot O money but may live a life of poor spirit.

So to summarize the state of the wacky marketzoid world.
