SGI Arises From the Ashes

eldavojohn writes "Six months ago, Slashdot reported on SGI's filing of Chapter Eleven Bankruptcy. I wondered why Slashdot kept the Silicon Graphics category with them now defunct. But Chapter Eleven means a reorganization — not liquidation. And, surprisingly, SGI has dusted itself off and stood back up. What did they dust off? About $150 million worth of spending a year. Will this reorganization put them back as a player in the graphics game? Maybe but as the article notes, they have some stiff competition that offer comparable services for less money. Is this a phoenix story or the final death throes of the company?" To be honest, no one here suspected a thing. We just keep the old topics around so it's still possible to find old stories related to them. Sometimes (like now!) they even still come in handy.

    He's Major General Jack O'Neill(two Ls unless you're talking about the suicidal movie version) now.

    The last ten episodes of SG-1 are coming this March. And then, even though our hopes of season 11 were dashed by Hammer and Stern, we get (at least) two direct-to-DVD movies.

    Apparently this story wasn't interesting enough the day it happened (day I reported it), but 2 days later, it's news.
