Back in the day I was a student worker at college for the Unix admin and we setup about 2 dozen O2's and other SGI's, Indigo's and Indy's for CSCI and Physics. I am actually now the sys admin there and we still have two of these O2's in the physics department. Physics is always the last to cling to old computer stuff. :) They were nifty boxes. My first job out of college was actually for a place doing development on SGI's, had one of the big servers, an Origin. I *might* have some IRIX cd's laying around somewhere if you're interested. Those were the days... Happy new year, Josh
