Exodus 24: "and I will give thee tablets of" IRIS Super Workstation Course Material!

Dated 1987, for the Silicon Graphics IRIS Superworkstation (IRIS-4D/60).
I got these a couple of weeks ago and have recently started looking through them.
One interesting fact so far, it appears the IRIS-4D series was to be referred to as the "IRIS Series 5000" as late as 1987. I guess SGI settled on IRIS-4D over IRIS Series 5000 before March of 1987.

To accentuate the special identity of the IRIS 4D/70, Silicon Graphics' designers selected a new color palette. The machine's coating blends dark grey, raspberry and beige colors into a pleasing harmony. ( IRIS 4D/70 Superworkstation Technical Report )
