Now that's what I like to see. Someone impressed enough with their computer as to make a video of it. I might do one of my Sun Microsystems box.

well... this machine is not an usual one, when released was the fastest desktop/graphic workstation on the planet, priced over $40,000 so why not make an nice video of it :)

Hehe, Nice... Does IRIX support modern apps then [Firefox, GIMP, X-Chat, Pidgin IM etc etc] ? Alex.

[cybercow222]
