Hello!

[ankylo5aurus]

I’m new here and just wanted to say hi. I’ve never owned SGI hardware myself, but back in the 90s I used to telnet to a friend’s IRIX system in order to have access to a UNIX environment. I spent so much time on there! I don’t quite remember what machine it was, but I’m 95% certain it was an Indy.

I did own a couple of Suns later on: a SPARCclassic and a SLC. I also miss my Macintosh SE/30 on which I ran A/UX!

I was recently reminiscing about those days so I signed up here hoping to eventually find something to play with IRIX on again and learn more about it… especially since I only ever used a SGI from the command line!

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

Hello and welcome! Well, you best get looking for an Indy or the like then! They are really fun machines, though I like the O2 the most.
