Not really. Rackable Systems has for long been one of those things that
were there but you never saw. And SGI's end was coming. When did they
decommission IRIX? Wasn't it some years ago?
I think Rackable Systems is going to focus on SGI's supercomputing
background and boost their line with parallel supercomputers. Just wild
guessing for fun.

I saw that. It's a sad day when such an icon of the computer industry
gets bought by some company I've never heard of for a (relatively) piddly
little sum...
