Back in the day , some of us older codgers here at Gizmodo used to throw our jaws at whatever SGI would do .

SGI will reconstitute in an attempt to keep away those vultures to whom it owe money , until the company can visualize out something . Why did this find ? According to SGI , the company was …
“ … challenged by holdup in infix new technology , a focus on more specialised markets and more acute competition from larger rivals . ”
SGI used to be the bad boys who would astonish everyone with multiprocessor fiend workstations , usually costing well over $ 100,000 . Now interchangeable computing power is usable hanging in packages on either side of the checkout line at Wal - Mart . Bye - bye , SGI .
