I exited SGI over a year ago now (along with about 1000 other folks at
the same time). A year ago I could easily have given you names and
numbers of half a dozen SEs who would have been delighted to talk with
you at length. At this point, I unfortunately no longer recall phone
numbers (and many of those folks are gone, of course -- there have been
at least two more purges since I departed).
I hope you found greener pastures!
If you want to give me a few days to get an ok, I might be able to pass
on a contact for the most experienced Field Service Engineer I know
(also no longer with SGI!). He was my FSE when I was a customer, back
when we had one of the first 4D/240s, and one of the first 4D/340s,
etc. He knows it all. I'll contact him and ask if he has time for
questions (like me, he's currently swamped with startup stuff).
That'd be great! Tell him I'm very low-maintenance and properly awestruck
by people who remember The Good Old Days.
