CDC has been selling the MIPS based SGI workstation under its label
for a while now ... so this is either total non-news ... or CDC has
simply decided to cut SGI out of the picture. 

When I had a chance to play with the CDC labeled SGI box I couldn't
find _any_ differences from the SGI equivalent (except that the SGI
had a newer software release and different power up message).
