[SunRescue] 5 major manufacturers?

[DaveMcGuiremcguire at neurotica.com]

  True, but people keep buying their machines.  I just hope that
eventually someone will fire some of the more stupid of their suits
and let SGI go about its business.  EVERY computer company makes
frequent bad decisions.

  I don't see anything wrong with pushing 3 different OSs, really.  I
mean, they have different kinds of computers, why not different kinds
of operating systems?  It's not like any of them is any real
competition for any of the others.
