Does anyone have a decent pidgin/gaim icon that I can override this with?

Internally processor/OS/SW projects had codenames usually left to the whim of the PM in charge.

There must have been tons of "roadmaps" floating around during the roaring late 90s. But they were mostly vaporware, anything that had to do with what would have been Irix post 6.5 was abandoned probably around 1999 when Oracle dropped support for Irix and it was clear that any new MIPS arch was not going to materialize.

I assume most discussions among the Irix team around that time were about resume writing tips.

The problem with Origin200 is that it doesn't even have a video card, so in fact there is no way to test Gtk+ locally - you'd need physical box for that.

I know it sounds somewhat silly for a single-person project, but I'm getting tired of having to start over from the beginning with packages, especially given some of the IRIX packaging utilities' penchant for zeroing out my IDB files now and then . What systems have people used successfully with IRIX? I've never had to get involved with these before, but since XFS isn't a versioning file system I'm having problems.

I use version control for all my single person projects, and the ones I don't use it for, I probably should be using it anyway.

I've used cvs and git on irix, but I suspect that the best option is svn (I say that presuming that you are dealing with moderately large binary files).

Thanks - no drama, which I had half expected. The L2 Emulator from the L3 software package worked just fine, but this L2 was too good a deal to let get away. Ditto for the router. Though at this point all I've done is increased my electric bill for no change in performance...

In your case would you use it with O300s, A350s, or... both?

Having the L3 software running in a VM on a cheap laptop is cheap, makes for a convenient console, etc etc. I currently use a Thinkpad R52 with a 2GHz Pentium M - plenty fast enough for this, plus browsing Nekochan. And one of these days I'll look into the performance monitoring software that's in the L3 package.

This laptop also runs DINA in another VM, for fast installs or updates. A hard drive with a few dozen GBs provides plenty of room for IRIX and Nekoware. Highly recommended...

Irix 7 might have gone the same route as MacOS.. bubbled up, eye-candied up.. pwetty...
And if prices were competitive or equal to what Apple offered , then perhaps Sgi might still have the upper hand today in the graphics world.

Oh well..
