As long as you're comfortable with that. I didn't realize that SGI viewed their customers that way. Usually the employees of successful companies believe that the product they are delivering is the best out there, not just an inferior product that the customer thinks he wants. I haven't ever really heard the sales pitch that "well, it's poor technology, it's unstable, and the performance sucks, but you want it, we'll sell it to you."

At least the check wouldn't bounce.
