well, ah... inspite of the rumors of our death being greatly exaggerated,
some of us do still work at SGI... in Minnesota... Eagan to be exact.
There is a room full of O2K and O3K (and newer stuff of course) directly
behind my office. They're powered on and running...

I'm unsure where you're at - but I picked all of mine up from the Boeing
surplus in Missouri. They're selling them cheaper than dirt... (how about
a pallet of four Onyx2 desksides for $25? Or an Origin3000 for $100?)
Middle of Minnesota - there's absolutely nothing up here that needs
anything more powerful than an office with a few PCs in it, sadly. I'm not
even sure what there might be down in Minneapolis - it's not exactly heavy
computing territory (although of course 3M have their roots here, so maybe
there are still a few gems tucked away down that way)
