(an Octane2 replacement) and the much-anticipated Onyx 4. The presence of the old "bug" logo warms the cockles of my heart, even if the desktop Tezro looks much like a subwoofer."
Oh come on

Like the average Slashdot reader (99%) has any use for or can justify the price of a SGI "graphics work station".
Now watch, some "expert troll" is about to come out of the woodworks and point out a bunch of cheap SGI systems or "I use SGI because of....and therefore it is not 99%.....blah blah".
What's so great about watching a company that was unable to out-innovate something else (Linux) hanging around and continuing to sell their second-best solution for twice as much? Screw nostalgia, this is business.
So where can I buy the machine?

All I see it "contact a sales rep" crap. T-e-l-e-p-h-o-n-e, what's that? Fill out a form so you can get back with me if I'm a good enough customer?
What are the prices?
Why can't I just order up a couple machines off their web pages?
I was going to order 3 or 4 machines for a graphics project ohwell... Sorry SGI, you lose 'cause I couldn't get pricing information for even order the machines. Guess I'll stick with Dell or Apple.

If you can handle the complex procedure of buying a mouse, you surly do not need a mac.
