SGI and IRIX Monday was the first day since 1986 that the stock of Silicon Graphics Inc., better known as SGI, has not been traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Its recent delisting is just the latest chapter of a long, painful story that analysts say is loaded with lessons for other companies. However, company executives say SGI's customer base remains loyal and its technology base is strong enough to sustain it, albeit in narrow vertical markets.

I'd buy one of those FUEL systems if they didn't cost 3 times the value of my car for the lowest end model.

Its all about pricing for percieved value.

I mean look on ebay sometime for SGI machines, there are jokers out there that think they can get 10K for a machine that is 10 years old. I can get a new machine for a fraction of that cost and have it run performance circles around that old hardware.
