Found an interesting story about the origin of the SGI logo while reading IRIS Universe, Spring 1987 issue..

Puzzle artist Scott Kim designed the Silicon Graphics logo entirely using JAM, a pre-PostScript language from Xerox. He started with a cube, looped a continuous tube around its vertices, rounded the corners, then rotated it so the 2D projection reads as both a hexagonal flower and a 3D object.

@flexion have you seen this?

Putting out a #DigiPres request:

Anyone out there in #RetroComputing fedi have, or know where I could get, #RealPlayer 5, G2, 7, or 8 for #Solaris or #IRIX? Or any other *NIX ports aside from Linux that might be out there?

Edit: Got it! Fedi is awesome!

Another day, another 30 year old computer getting in on the IPv6 action. This time it's an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.

It only took me a few hours to setup a network installation server for the software and remember how to use inst and find the right systune but hey, now we're golden. ​

(Install eoe.sw.ipv6, reboot, systune ip6_enable 1, reboot)
