<unscientific unjustified prediction> I've been betting for some time that
we'll see some kind of fusion between SGI and Apple. They represent the high
and low end of the same world, respectively, Apple now has a Unix-ish OS
to port SGI tools to, I believe both companies are using PCI busses...
Imagine if you will a dual or quad 733 g4 with SGI video and software *AND*
still able to run the entire MacOS software world, and equipped with a
professional DVD burner at 8-10,000 dollars(US). Imagine THAT on movie
credits: Special effects hardware and software, Apple Computer, Inc.
Call it the SGI-mac? Too silly?
</unscientific unjustified prediction>
Just a thought. :)
