David Mosley asks:What if SGI wants to stay independent? Can they really recover with a reorganization? if it's really true that SGI has great technology, and all they really lack is a sales and marketing force with experience and track records in the enterprise market, what would it cost to get one? how much to buy IBM or DEC or HP or SUN's enterprise sales and marketing organization? if this is the missing ingredient, how does SGI get one? i think it would take years to build one, and mass conversion of sales and marketing folk who are the best in the world in computational chemistry and Hbomb simulation markets is absurd. only sucessful enterprise computer manufacturers have what SGI needs to move into this server market, and either SGI aquires or builds one from the existing pool (at a cost unimagineable) or the surender to an organisation that has the means to place the goods. oir they could say screw wall street, and be the greatest technology company ever. totally engineering driven, sitting back and being content with having customers who are sophisticated and geeky enough to pay the premium and buck the common.we all know that in a sane and good world, discriminating buyers have their tailors, cigar makers and machinists that are immune to time and are governed only by the demands of even finer craftsmanship. "call SGI and have them fit me up for a workstation, cost be damned." and have them put up a few boxes of those late 97' R12's... vincent
