Reliving The Glory Days of SGI
devin15 writes "Remember in the '90's when the tech boom was in full swing and SGI was the darling of the 3D graphics industry, whatever happened to those days? Wired is running an article about a group for whom the glory days of SGI have not yet gone.

How about the hours of your life lost playing with your new, inexpensive, yet strangely powerful(graphically) toy as you make all those funny videos you could never get to come out right on the Mac, since you couldn't figure out how to get to a menu with only one button on your mouse? Gee, whiz, I hate Mac mice.
That's okay, it runs Irix. I'm sure you could have found a local 'sploit quickly enough. Irix was famous for its lack of security.

Do I know you? Why would you say such things about someone you don't know after reading a few paragraphs on a discussion board? Why the name calling?
You think I'm arrogant for questioning someones opinion and offering my one? Well maybe so. But in this case I happen to be right. Maybe you didnt' see my follow up post to Ford Perfect. Maybe you missed that he also mispoke.

No it doesn't. And neither does this. And neither did your post. But it's a freaking discussion forum not a tech support line.

Again you are too right. These are calld opinions. I sometimes have them about people or things.
Then you go on about your opinions, which is fine, but sort of funny after you criticize someone for writing theirs down.

Ummm I don't go really go to meetings, I'm a student. And when I do work it's usually just me and my boss.

Why don't they tell me then, especially if I deserve it? Are they affraid of me? Maybe I'm not nice. But who are you man? Is the internet too small to reveal your name?
Last I checked I didn't have any enemies. Care to update me on this one?
