  SGI was the Unix world's answer to the Apple Macintosh: Physical
design is colorful, bold, almost artistic; all the OEM pieces work
together very well; oh-so-pretty desktop GUI; utterly incompatible

  Now, of course, with OS X, Apple has reclaimed that particular
niche.  There's a strange kind of symmetry there.
