John: Alias/Wavefront incompatible from a source code level was my main point. No disputes about the virtues of either company, their products, or their people from Mathon. But tell me: Why did SGI have to pay such a king's ransom for -both- companies? Who were they bidding against anyway? OK, Bill bought Softimage. So, SGI needs to counter and buys either Alias or Wavefront to protect their image. I'll go along with that. But, buy -both- companies? Naaaah. Something's fishy. And look at the integration effort. Two years and what? You could have paid $10 million and outsourced it from scratch by now. Anyway, SGI's going NT now. The unthinkable has happened. With that: SGI should sell Alias/Wavefront, pocket the $1/2Bil and scratch 1000 names off its payroll asap. Just a thought. Mathon
