1) You say OpenGL is crap, so I guess you refer to the OpenGL API, because the implementations differ from board to board.
2) You say Mesa rules, but in fact, Mesa is OpenGL (anyway, it tries to be compatible with it), so you're contradicting yourself. (see 1)
3) "A pc with TNT2 would smoke any sgi machine." Maybe you need to see a SGI in action, they're the best for OpenGL stuff. The whole architecture is way better. (Bus speed is one of the main advantages)
4) The note about orcale, where you compare a p3 with a Sun. What has Sun to do with SGI? They're two totally different companies.
I'd suggest you get your facts straight next time.
