Nice.

What boggles my mind is the "6.5.23" number. In my opinion (and
following the 6.5 compatibility mandate) this should have been version
6.6 or 7.0.

I realize that these systems are old and that SGI probably has very
few (if any) such machines on active support contracts... but the
least they could do is keep some form of limited support, if for no
other reason than a confidence boost.

What's next? Killing the freeware site?

Way to go, SGI.
