Mid 90's, I was in my early 20's, was a SIGGRAPH addict and following eagerly anything about SGI/3D stuff.
I knew my way in 3DS max at the time but as a student, the company I was working part time had a loan SGI Indigo for a few days... Maya, Softimage, all the 3D stuff the big boys had, I was in heaven...
I never did that many extra hours in my life than during these few days  

Now I own an Octane...
