I cheated and found it with Google Image Search but I kept quiet to let
others run it down.
Seems to have been purely a design concept, not a
product.
They don't really talk about the guts, at all. Also by 1995 SGI had
already made a lot of really cool machines, but hey others were free to

Honestly, I didn't say much because at first I thought they were coffee
machines, espresso makers, or some other non-computer. Then when someone

maker!" :-P
Seems it did get a little further than design concept.

Was getting a lot of press buzz around 1995.
