you have to remember how many insiders made out big in the Alias Wavefront purchase. and after MSFT bought SoftImage, SGI had to do something destructive. so after Rob Burgess got his share and left, and the tenure of Brian Alum, who is now at Macromedia with Rob, we have Penny Wilson, from accounting, who'se watching over SGI's investment. they're a year and some late on their next generation software, with 5000 seats installed, afer 12 years, facing Kinetics 3D MAX at $3K, with over 100,000 paid seats after 3 years. on the upside, like the parent company, they have expensive superior technology.
