I don't think I said that, I think I said SGI was a
dead husk, after their suicidal leap... certainly, Irix
has better cluster scalability than most OS's of any
vintage, with XFS and their volume manager.  The only
OS that's even close is AIX.

The one really antiquated thing I can point to in Irix
is the ability to stage a quota denial of service attack
on someone by "giving" them core dump files using the
SVR3 chown semantics, but I think that's optional now
that people have complained about it so long.
