After high school I got a job as video game artist for Virgin Games (in 92). While there another artist brought in an SGI that he was borrowing from a friend and demo'd it. I fell in love with it. So a year later, after being rejected from art school, I used my bit of college savings to buy the SGI and Alias. I used it for a few small video projects and animations, and then started contracting for SGI doing design work for their website. They even gave me an old Indigo to work on. I kept both machines for about 10 years and then finally gave away them away to a collector.
