Wanted to pick up some old SGI stuff but it’s still hard to get and very expensive.

Wanted to pick up some old SGI stuff but it’s still hard to get and very expensive.
- gnufx 5y agoI did try to tell people there was money in old SGI and Sun kit rather than just scrapping it (and then had to buy spares from a scavenger of Sun kit I know of before Sun shut them down). I didn't realize there was much of a market for real SGIs now, though. We used to have a literal stack of Indys to swap in when one off maintenance packed up. Now I only have a mouse somewhere.
- redis_mlc 5y agoA lot of Open Source code has been hard to build on SGI since around 2000. So don't get too excited if you're planning to use it for anything aside from museum exhibits. And if you're in SV, you can always visit the Computer History Museum to see them.
