All businesses can be improved. SGI is no slacker in technology, but they can use better sales/marketing, as has often been pointed out. I'd like to see SGI go for the serious gamer market out there. Hi-res Flat panel display and VW320 are not a big stretch($) for gamers. They already buy video cards and have the hottest CPUs, and I think the cost of a VW320 is comparable to a hi-end PC with all the bells and whistles added. (I could be wrong, however)

Well, it has been about 2 years since I bought my SGI shares, at an average price of $20 1/16. What has bothered me is not so much the time it is taking to turn around, but what I believe is the management playing cat-and-mouse with the long-term shareholders. From what I have noticed and can remember over the last two years, the management announces something positive just one or two days before they announce their (usual) dismal earnings report. As a result, the stock rockets up for a day or two and then promptly sinks back, obviously giving the shorts plenty of time to make money while leaving long-term shareholders high and dry. The next time we get past 20, I'll surely sell this dog!!!! No more hide-and-seek games for me!!!!
