Where to buy an SGI

RE: Where to buy an SGI
Hi,

I have started looking into SGI machines late 2019 and own two Indigo2 now. What you need to consider is that every contemporary computer is much more capable than even the latest SGI machines. Also, IRIX software is severely limited compared to modern software. This means that at least for me, there is no point in going for the top SGI's as no matter how much money I will spend on an SGI system, the systems are not good for anything more than playing around - forget any productivity. Maybe even a Raspberry Pi 4 is more powerful than a top Tezro - an entry level Macbook Pro certainly is. As such, to get a glimpse on how it was back in the days and to play around, any SGI system does it for me.
