SGI in Chapter 11

SGI has filed for chapter 11 Not unexpected. Surprising it took so long to take some action… Back in the days when I could get my hands on a SGI machine they were a joy to program. IRIX is a great OS - it was one of the few that actually met the POSIX specs for threads. Great APIs. I wish they would just sell or give away IRIX for the PC x86 platform. Lots of people with fond memories of SGI workstations from the past would glady install IRIX in favor of Linux I think.
