>What makes you think that their business model would in any way complement SGI, whose main focus is high performance workstations and data processing farms?< Who said anything about adopting eMachine's business model? >What about Emachine's distribution infrastructure makes them any better than any other company out there, and something that SGI would inherently lack?< It is called connections, eMachines already has manufacturer's reps to handle the launch of a retail product line. They also have established connections for production of large numbers of systems. What makes eMachine a desireable aquisition is the same thing that makes SGI a desireable aquisition. It would be cheap because it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
