They were hyping the Mars Pathfinder and had camera shots alternating between Pathfinder pics and panning to a monitor with the SGI logo on it. They had various JPL scientists saying a few things about the project and their data management needs, and then I think an SGI guy saying a bit at the end. They closed with some comment like they salute the pioneering spirit at JPL and congratulate them on their work, blah blah. Kinda like the big poster of the 777 and the Indy where they said they salute the spirit that's soaring at Boeing. Anyway, I was impressed. Looks like they're beefing up their marketing efforts some more. First time writer, long time lurker. -Al
