Silicon Graphics CEO says company back on track
SAN FRANCISCO -- When Bob Bishop took over as chief executive of long-struggling Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1999, he decided that for the once high-flying company to begin growing again, it had to think smaller. "The world's got enough general purpose commercial computing," Bishop told Reuters. "The choice we made was to go back to our roots." Based in Mountain View, Calif., SGI was best known in the 1990s for its high-end computers. But it acquired supercomputer maker Cray Research Inc. in 1996 when lower-cost PCs were the rage. The move proved disastrous and Cray was sold in 2000.
