Hello

Sold an SGI Indy a while ago on Ebay :( Provoked by a space and moving 
to London crisis.(though I still have about 6 Sun SS5/20's stacked up)

The SGI graphics and IRIX desktop were impressive. Even came with its
webcam. Really a shame to spoil them with X or Linux for that matter  ;O)

I doubt these machines will come preloaded with IRIX but copies do turn 
up on Ebay from time to time.

I've think I'm getting the collecting fever" again!
