There's been mention of this machine in some of the other forums. Very powerful looking system for sure! I still have a couple of questions that I haven't been able to find an answer to… First, that's a diskless station, right? I presume that means it boots from a network server or another SGI box. Anyway, does the price include the OS, or is that "extra"? (I presume it's included). Second, what kind (if any) of development system comes with it? Does it include Motif? Someone in another forum mentioned that the 24-bit upgrade with a disk is something like $4000. Ouch. If the graphics hardware engine that makes the big SGI boxes fly is in Indy in some form, it'll take more than a quickie port to get some of the packages we use now to take advantage of it. But when they do take advantage of it….phew! That thing will just scream. I can't wait to see one of those things! Steve
