    They are dinosaurs... noone wants a workstation the size of a large fridge any more. Or do they not do them any more?

        If you want the performance you buy the fridge, you are not going to get any of the high end stuff in a mini tower...and I was under the impression thay made some pretty stylish "lower" end workstations as well.

        They were quite nice about opengl as well, it stayed a reasonably open standard.

        It would be sad to see them go as they did innovate

          Remember loving to use their indy stations back in Uni - nice machines, and a good UI, but then this was 10 years ago...
