What do you use your SGI for?

RE: What do you you your SGI for?
I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole investing time & energy into getting and learning software for these machines. They are collectibles to me and living history to learn and take some inspiration from.

Yes, it’s important that they actually do work. But I don’t think I’ll be doing much additional software loading on them after a stable OS.

If I can find any automation, like roboinst, I’ll maybe place the softWindows apps and the basic adobe apps for prestige.

Otherwise, they are wall art that runs. It’s like having a Ferrari in the garage (I don’t) that you take out only a few times year, but keep in running condition (within reason).

Though after what I’ve learned I do need to ensure I run them quarterly from now on to slow capacitor degradation.
