Four candles for my engineering degree. Let me

Remember Greg Chassen, he used to play trumpet. Some real sexy secretaries , those days were very MTV and designer fashions, now all those sexy girls are gone from the computer industry. There were so many perks given to an engineer. You could work somewhere for 3 months and then a head hunter like Irfan Zinna would call you to offer you a more paying job in a "start-up" (Taiwanese engineers). Then, the start-up would mess up, and then you run back to a established company again.

SGI certainly was powerful, it used the MIPS processor, but thanks to clueless CEO's they adopted a lesser OS, Windows NT, and a lesser processor,the Itanium. IRIX should've been a fierce competitor to Windows and the more advanced OS X.

Not just Google. The Computer History Museum now owns the International Marketing building at 1403 N Shoreline Blvd.
It's not quite as simple as your story, though; SGIs demise was much helped by the overnight disappearance of their market, the graphics workstation.

SGI may have been the most innovative company ever, but the leadership ran a great company straight into the ground. Where are the people in this video? ...likely laid-off (Google SGI Chapter 11)...and speaking of Google; the buildings in this video are now the home of Google.
