*drools over the monitor* Can I come stea... I mean borrow that monitor? 😜

I did in fact surf the web on these things in 96. While the computer science lab had mostly Solaris workstations, there were two or three Indys that you could use also. I remember irix having the best default user interface, but it being slightly incompatible with all of our homework that was designed to be run on the Solaris machines. That means they really weren't in demand much. There are a whole lot more of them in the computer animation department and they got used all the time for Maya.

I got the same model a few years back but haven't managed to get it working. Powers on but no video and I think there's supposed to be a boot chime.

Convenient that it comes with its own shiv. You can use it to defend against anyone trying to steal your $50k machine.

Now time for mips64 support in Haiku!

SGI systems still hold a special place in my heart. They were, and still are, amazing examples of hardware engineering. I miss having access to these systems.

First of all: where can I get an Old Albany Steamed Hams shirt? I'm from Utica and I've never heard of that. Second: was that Mac Mini slide-in a reference to 65scribe's Mac Cube Early 2037? Third: I used to own one of these as well. It was one of the boxes I had to leave behind when I moved across country.
