You *can* get a good deal on ebay

See item # 120128637318 I won an SGI Personal Iris 4D/20 (1988!) workstation. I was the only bidder and I picked it up for $40. The cosmetic condition is excellent. Honestly, I expected someone to come in and snipe me at the last possible minute, so I increased my bid twice. The hard drive will be wipe, so I nee to get an OS package for this, which is probably as hard as finding the hardware. In several years of watching ebay for SGI gear, this is the first time I've seen a Personal Iris offered up, although I admit that I haven't had a specific search for it, so one or two may have slipped through the cracks. Are the SGI collectors just out enjoying the nice weather? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
