No, they closed the office a few years after I left and all the people

marketing types in charge of a technology company -- they'll just run
it into the ground while they get rich off their stock options.

But you got to keep a load of SGI gear? Heh, it's always the PDP :) Thinking about it

For me it was E&S equipment, but a very similar situation: work no
longer supported the ESV and put them out by the loading dock free for
the hauling. Actually quite a bit of stuff as well as ESVs were out
there. They must have offloaded quite a bit of SGI gear when they
closed that office, but that particular employer was a pretty bitter
experience for the most part, so I didn't keep in touch.
