Also when IRIX comes up it sets the resolution to something my VGA->HDMI adapter at my desk doesn't wanna deal with, so I need to drag out the VGA monitor I was using before to get all that sorted. Can't wait to see what s/w is on this former gubmint computer. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SGI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SGI</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/O2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#O2</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IRIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IRIX</a>
