At a recient job fair SGI was recuting students (well, after we grad) to
make one version of unix that would run on everything from the lowest end
sgi to the highest cray.  They also implied that it would run the same
binaries!  (if the new crays have MIPS processors expect binary
compatability across all sgi/cray systems)

This was before sgi announced they were laying off ~1000 people, so they
may have changed plans.

I for one with them luck in that endever.
