Jonathan C. Patschke writes "SGI unveiled two new graphics workhorses today, the Tezro
(an Octane2 replacement) and the much-anticipated Onyx 4. The presence of the old "bug" logo warms the cockles of my heart, even if the desktop Tezro looks much like a subwoofer."
"If you love something you must set it free. We love these workstations, so we're releasing them today. If it's meant to be, they'll be returned to us... after their hefty leases are up."
I want my SGI...

In other news, scientists from the English speaking world are concerned about the increasing rarity of regsitered trademark symbols. Overharvesting for use in press releases and other marketing mediums is considered a prime cause of this shortage.

thank you, dear troll, for revealing your ineptitude so blatently. there is so such thing as a 3000 mhz MIPS chip, you (one is led to assume) are using a MIPS R3000, the second chip produced by MIPS, running at (at most) 33mhz. The R3000 is vintage 1990 at best. as to your sugggestion of 64gigs of ram, i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant 64 megs. now, my little troll, go back to your cave.
And very few of us will drive a Ferrari, but they are still heavily promoted on the front pages of MoterTrend and Road and Track many months. I guess no one wants to read a magazine about the rusty, sputtering 75 hp Dodge Dart. Why should computers be any different?

A mac in NO WAY can compare to the ONYX4. You sir are on some strong dope.
If you keep an open mind, the SGI bug will bite you, and someday, you too might have an Onyx XL in your dining room.:)
Does one in your garage count? Don't have 220v in the dining room so that's a no go (that and the thought of being bludgened to death by my wife with a 4 processor R4400 board).
Just because you've loaded up our retirement accounts with SGI stock, don't delude these nice people. The SGI brand is worth very little in the areas in which they are trying to compete. And Linux does a better job, with more software available. The Apple comparison is particulartly inapt, because SGI has never achieved Apple's niche market. Next you'll be saying that everyone should buy SGI stock because Sauron is going to standardize on SGI. Everyone knows that Sauron runs only Windows.
By the way, don't forget to pick up the Rohanese food for dinner tonight. Thanks,

Hmm.. ever tried buying a Mac at Bestbuy...? As far as SGI gear, I can imagine the poor (uneducated rep) asking you: "shall we charge your bestbuy credit card on this $24,999.95 order sir?"
Interested in an extended warranty plan for only $8900?

Nah, Apple has been dying for far longer than SGI. The question is whether they can KEEP dying the way Apple does...
Have you seen my stapler?
you're right. from now on slashdot should only feature stories abut the latest wal-mart pc's.
It's just too hard to masturbate to these small images.

If you are spending $3000+ then you can afford another $50 for a good three button mouse. The one-button argument is baseless.
...Erwin will be getting an upgrade?
