Another thing---early SGI boxes were more stable

I used for four years (SGI Personal Iris 4D/35) had the mother board
replaced once, the graphics card replaced once and the monitor was going
(everything had a slight green tinge to it).
The 4D/35 is widely regarded as flakey at best. Much more troublesome than
both the 4D/25 that came before and the Indigo R3000 that replaced it.
I have an R4600 Indy and an R4400 Indigo. I wish the Indy were faster and
that IRIX suffered less from "not-invented-here", but there it is.
