Yep.
A couple people I've known who ended up with
old SGI gear thought they
were going to create some kind of fancy animations with this kind of
hardware, so I never know what to think now.
Depends on what you mean by "fancy animations." It will probably do better
out of the box than most new peesees depending on what you'd like to
animate. (and whether it requires texture memory, of course) Both of my
SGIs, for instance, have analog video in/out, which is a start. On the
other hand, you can't really do a good animation with anything "out of the
box." It usually takes a lot of strange stuff.
