Indigo's are neat. The later machines may be sexier and definitely faster but there's something about an Indigo ....

Ah - the Indigo. Once upon a time it was hailed the "RISC PC of the 90's". 20 years ago, when I bought my first SGI box at list-price (!), it was an R3000. No-one ever claimed that their machines were actually cheap - by today's standard, I'd to shell out about €20000. Sigh, I'm well aware that I should forever be condemned to Ring 2 for having been so stupid, but back then I just wanted have an Indigo. Ok, I beefed it up to R4400, and it run for ten years before it died a peaceful death. After that, I got myself a purple I2 which still purrs away happily today...but occasionally I still long for my old Indigo nevertheless...

In fact, the Indigo's model number is "4D/RPC" in the series of IRIS 4D machines.

That sounds pretty tasty and you're a good photographer too.

To the forum host and mods, thanks for the forums. Long may "unpopular" hardware and software wave!

Quite late, but congratulations Neko. You've got a good forum and now it's in double digits.
Yeah, as long there's whiskey in the jar and you keep tuned into to Irish Pub Radio we will surely celebrate Nekochan for many more years to come :-)

Sadly, two of my favourite songs [Tae the beggin'/The Wild Geese] aren't played these days too often anymore...

Indeed, a beautiful piece [especially when played on flute]. And I'm sure there are as many different interpretations for it as there are for, e.g., Mahler's 6th [viz. Solti vs. Boulez vs. Bernstein] - but I'd in mind http://springthyme.co.uk/wildgeese/index.htm ... :-)

Impressive work, foetz! Very detailed. I especially like the 3-D SGI cube next to the I2 and the fact that the I2 appears to be displaying the Nekochan forums.

thanks to both of you :)

yeah it has a few flaws here and there but overall it looks nice i think and that's the important thing. the room could have more stuff but i wanted to let the sgi stuff stand out and not get buried by tons of deco stuff :P
and yes the indigo does show the nekochan main forum page :D

about the cube, i can share the model if you like it
