A perfect example of "Eggheads" with the "Egghead Mentality": The company [SGI] continued to regard itself as a manufacturer of elite machines for artists and engineers. They shunned the low end market. Sales personnel were accustomed to having specialty customers come to them - and that corporate vision was reflected in a weak advertising and unfocused marketing. "After years of ignoring the desktop crowd, SGI is going to try - for once - catering to them." In other words, SGI was so high on themselves, their innovativeness, and their technical superiority that they almost drove the company into oblivion. Finally, after all these years, they've finally decided to "lower" themselves and sell less sophisticated machines, as well as begin a line based on the ever-inferior Windows NT. techstocks.com I hope everyone better understands what I've been talking about.
