I actually do to. They were nice machines, real nice. Limited 
now-a-days,  but then that was a time when "limited" was still pretty 
wide open and very powerful. And there was something about the design, 
it wasn't a formless box. I gotta give Mac tons of credit for really 
doing design in their computers and not just spitting out a box with 
lights. I used to have a purple SGI on my desk and it was a great 
machine. And I remember sitting on the phone with SGI support trying to 
get a MRI that was hooked to an SGI working. Ah fun times.....
