[Intuition]

OK, I'll play.

I wound up staying at R+H for almost 17 years as an animator, and later an animation supervisor, but I never lost my affection for those squat purple rectangles, even though we had ditched them for Linux boxes by the year 2001. I still fondly remember my first day there in July of 1995 and going on a tour of the machine room, where they had two or three SGI Predators, each with an astounding two (2) gigabytes of RAM!! (our desktop workstations were Indigo 2's with 256mb of RAM)

Big thanks again to Raion and everyone else on here for keeping the dream alive! 

Since you were at R+H you probably know Scott Kilburn. He was mostly Look Dev and he's a great photographer and has a taste for art deco. I was able to work with him at Mirada in Hollywood in 2017 on some Camry spots. Great guy. Also we had a guy at Digital Domain named Korre Heggam that took a job at R+H almost a year before they shut it down. 

Wonderful story by the way. 
Great read.
