If only CATIA would make at least a demo...
Holy CRAP!!!!!

I've been off the block for a month or so and come back and find that Diego is pushing this app along quite nicely.

I love what I see Diego. Very very nice. Glad you stuck around here. :D

On pricing:
I'm of the mindset that there is a great burgeoning need for lower-priced apps (specifically for O2 machines). Why? There are boatloads of O2s selling on eBay and the "new IRIX user" market is growing. What these users don't see out there is affordable software to utilize the O2 they just bought.

I believe you can make more money selling 3-10X the software at lower prices than selling small quantities of software at higher prices.

I know I've not bought ANY software for the O2 simply because I do not like the possibility of spending > $250 US on a piece of software and then finding out that the software doesn't even suit me or at least give me a "WHIZ*BANG* effect.

If there were a version doing quite a few things running < $100 US, I would buy it. At the same time, a "full-featured" version running > $250 would entice me to pick that up after using the inexpensive version.

I would very much like to see PartixFX (I always want to type this as PartiFX.. without the lower case 'x').
I've probably overseen the installation of 200 HP-UX machines in the last month. I did an inventory of another 200-400 last week (I don't know the exact number since I inventoried all the UNIX machines).

The B2000 isn't too bad. A C3700 is what you'd like, I imagine.

I don't recall offhand if the B2000 has DVI. I don't believe that it does.

EDIT: I just looked and there were 466 HP-UX machines of various flavor including B2000s, C3000s, C3600s and C3700s. I'm not counting ancient behemoths like the C360s or C200s.
I think you meant to say C300 0 . :P
I've actually been pondering installing Be r5 lately. I miss futzing with it. It was really a fun OS to work with.

Gobe Productive is still my favorite office suite. Also, SoundPlayer was just awesome. I loved playing CDs backwards with multiple songs from the same CD to freak people out with.

And I second the Scot Hacker book. Excellent and fun read from cover to cover.
Lucky her, Hakimoto.

I had issues with the compile of gentoo on my laptop. I ended up putting Mandrake on it instead. :cry:
Newtek's pretty good that way. I had both PC/Mac versions and had lost (had stolen) the PC dongle and software along 2 moves across country. I called up Newtek, they asked did I even want the Mac version and basically I traded my Mac dongle for the PC dongle.

And finally after much searching found the manuals I had been looking for for 2 years.

Now to get Maya hooked up on IRIX as easily... Yeah, right.
Found this while browsing this morning.

I found this part most interesting...
Better yet, Dorado is the first in a long line of workstations. The aging IRIX on MIPS line has a successor at last, and you can even run the old binaries if you don't mind a speed hit.


Any thoughts on this?
