I am a recently retired software engineer working since 1986 in the domains of 3D computer graphics and simulation.
During that time I worked on nearly all Motorola and MIPS based SGI systems starting with an IRIS 3030 running the Robert Abel software, intensively using Performer on O2 and Onyx systems in the 90's for training simulations and slowly declining SGI usage and replacing it with OpenSceneGraph and NVidia GPU's around 2008.
During that time I also collected several SGI workstations to keep them away from the dumpster.
On the other hand I'm using Tcl/Tk for nearly 30 years for professional and private usage and am engaged in the development of several Tcl/Tk extensions.
My goal for this year is to get most of my Indigo2 and O2 machines up and running as well as porting the current Tcl/Tk version and extensions to IRIX.
