SGIs. Re: A little humor from my school

Yea my friend and I had the SGIs.. I hope you enjoyed them.. I had some demos on the 3D work and I had some videos on the graphics, but everyone had more fun playing BZflag. They are a lot of fun to play with. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Riley <fraveydank at gmail.com> To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, May 8, 2012 11:16 AM Subject: A little humor from my school Some of you will find this amusing, anyway.? This is a verbatim quote The department?s computing facilities include Sun and Silicon Graphics workstations, SGI Crimson and SPARC servers, and high performance graphics workstations (SGI Indigo2, Onyx Reality Engine2). The Office of Information Technology has over 400 workstations for general student use and several high-end machines including a Silicon Graphics Challenge XL 20 processor system. UMBC?s Imaging Research Center also provides high-end graphics support including production quality input/output devices and production software (Wavefront, Softimage, and Alias). While these are cool machines, I did see some of them at VCF East this past weekend.? I'm pretty sure the school doesn't have them anymore.? I guess weeding out old info isn't a top priority. :-) - Dave
