On the one hand, I am a little miffed my conservative $10 bid got me nowhere with this. On the other hand, I'm happy to see so much SGI collector enthusiasm. On the third hand, $33 for a darn mug that you can make for < $10??? On the fourth hand, some would say the mug is less obsolete than the gear I have spent thousands accumulating.

Touche'

Who would have foretold an SGI mug auction could lead to so much self doubt & soul searching...

I would bid too, but the shipment to my place is more than 40$ :(

It's an ex-stockholder who just got an AK-47. He's going to take it out back, set it up on a fence post and blow it to smithereens. Needs a genuine article for the full satisfaction.
he said a girl named Patches was found ...

Ha! There is also a *rare* copy of the Enron code of ethics booklet currently on auction. I would have made the obvious joke viz the rare code of ethics, but on second thought, I'll skip it.

Really must get some SGI mugs made up. If only I could find the damn old and new type fonts somewhere - they seem extremely elusive :(

Surely the proper way is to pull the logo bitmaps out of the PROM.

To be fair there's a good bunch of generic SGI logos and system logos on the Nekochan FTP site so I should be covered.

I got this buried away. I swear I once had a vector of it.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before but this is my mint SGI Computer Systems mug (in SGI purple), alongside my equally mint NSCP mug.
