Sad but true. Some years years ago, while working for SGI in Neuchatel in Switzerland, I referred a French ISP which I was involved with to SGI in Paris. Unfortunately, SGI quite simply didn't seem interested at all in selling a few of their small boxes, while there was no problem at all getting someone from Sun to come out and propose a few small SPARCs and a good discount. I think the comment from my friends after having chased the SGI salesman (any SGI salesman) for a long time and then been mightily cheesed off was "SGI can go and play with themselves!". That said, knowing extremely well the company, their bright people (not including their sales force...) and great products, I have zero doubt that SGI will rebound, which is why I've just joined this thread, seriously considering buying a few hundred as soon as I believe I've seen the bottom... And no, I don't hold any SGI stock any more. Fortunately I couldn't afford to hold on to my ESPP stocks long term - if I had I undoubtedly would have done so, and would have been here slagging off the lousy performance of the stock instead ;-) ...
