    Under the heading of "Intel misses Itanium sales mark by $26.6bn"
    the English webzine The Register mentions at:
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/28/itanium_04_sales/
    that "SGI moved just over 1,000 boxes to take 4 per cent of the market".
    I can imagine that some people will have to undergo some serious
    questioning.The most serious ones that I can envisage are: why did we
    ever became dependent ofout-off-company development (swapping MIPS for
    Intel) in the first place,and why did we forsake our own roots
    (abandoning Irix for Linux - previouslyWindows NT). I remember Apple
    doing silly things during the midterm Nineties,barely surviving untill
    the discovered their own strength.
    Hopefully SGI (previously proudly called Silicon Graphics) manages the
    same...
