There is no logic in SGI and Apple merging at this point. 3 years ago, maybe. Not anymore. The Mac OS X strategy and SGI's strategy of going NT do not synch. Also, the company cultures will never mix. Each thinks that they define high end multimedia. Now, I believe CPQ would be well served to buy SGI. - Adam

Any deal AAPL makes will drop them to 32, unless they're bought out or merge. My friends' info isn't what makes me think it's a good idea. It's the fact that AAPL needs to extend their brand and their markets. SGI is still struggling, and represents a good opportunity. Whatever made SGI a good idea 3 years ago (as somebody else posted) hasn't changed, as far as I'm concerned. SGI's new boxes are killer. If AAPL is a "box company", there's no reason why this is a bad idea. However, SGI ALSO has a top notch consulting side that would benefit AAPL in many different ways. AAPL's OS is coming closer and closer to being UNIX-like. SGI tends to run alot of UNIX. Their futures are merging.....
