On: The Rise and Fall of Silicon Graphics

[davepeck]

That rings a bell although fuzzily: as the new kid from school, I was pretty disconnected from the politics of the moment. I do seem to remember that the MineSet team departed en masse, but IIRC that departure roughly coincided with broader layoffs in the org.

(With apologies for reviving 90s IRIX/Solaris snark in my earlier post. :-)

Ha -- no worries on the snark; Irix probably was a better system in ~1998, as ZFS, DTrace, Zones, SMF, FMA, etc. were all still in the future...
