I recently (restored/put to work) showed an SGI Indy at our office to young ones. Apart from cool case, it was mostly "yeah, looks like any ol' linux desktop we have" which is right, of course... but 30 years ago! I also have rose-tinted glasses now on IRIX and SGI since I worked on those machines for better part of 90's and early 2000's in VFX (both VFX work and software for it). There was mystique about those daylight robbery machines that made you feel you could and should achieve more. There's nothing like that today anymore, except maybe getting a DGX - Carmack even mentioned something similar ( https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1398519867280609282?lang=en https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1398519867280609282... ) which I can definitely relate to from SGI era.
