Carlos Rodrigues 🪣<p>The Indy appeared in a few films. Jurassic Park is also from 1993 and features plenty of Silicon Graphics kit but, surprisingly, no Indy.</p><p><a href="https://www.starringthecomputer.com/computer.html?c=23" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">starringthecomputer.com/comput</span><span class="invisible">er.html?c=23</span></a></p><p>13 year-old me went to a trade show in Lisbon and the guy at the Silicon Graphics booth thought nothing of letting me play with the Indy on display. It sported a (grayscale) camera and ran some smooth 3D demos. Sweet.</p><p>The DEC guys, though, looked at me funny when I asked about their Alphas... 🤨</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/silicongraphics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>silicongraphics</span></a></p>

James against the machine<p>I love this brittle beast I found on Ebay and impulsively bid on. The seller hand-delivered it within a day or two! I'm grateful for that because I doubt it would have survived shipping... the aged plastic case is extremely brittle and delicate. I've already broken (and repaired) two clips (one clip immediately broke again!).</p><p>This is a Unix system!
