re: #200 wlewisiii

I don’t work in IT anymore and I surely don’t miss it. But one of the reasons I like my dual CPU Octane2 is that it keeps me in practice. I do wish SGI had gotten to putting USB in them before they went to h*ll. Hell, even 1.1! I get tired of having to wave that dead chicken over the %(@#*$& SCSI bus.

Rubber chickens work just as well but stink a whole lot less.

The only SGI system I’m familiar with is the Indigo. I ported PFG (Plant Fractal Generator) from the SGI to MAC way back in ‘92.

The MAC had a shortage of graphics routines that the SGI had built in. I loved the SGI.
