I remember a few years back we used to have a lab with Irix machines, 30
computers or so. Student seniors used to do their grad projects on Maya
software. It was sad to see them go as they were never fully integrated
with the rest of the Windows network. What a shame!

Actually, for Oracle, I'm not at all a an of Irix. It was a great O/S,
but, I had nothing but trouble w/ Oracle clients, and there was the N32
nonsense, which I never did get working correctly.
And, I don't think I ever knew what Irix stood for...

Who remembers all the cool little graphics demos? Buttonfly, the 3D
spider walking on the checkerboard plane, several others that I'm not
remembering anymore.
And, that reminds me of the classic line from Jurrasic Park, little
girl standing in front of an SGI box w/ buttonfly demo running, "Hey, I
know this! This is Unix!" ;-)
