My first 'real computer' was a MIPS Magnum pizzabox RC3230, which I later upgraded to an SGI Indy, and I've been an SGI fanboy every since, having kept every SGI machine I've ever hacked on, from the Indy to an Octane2 and O2 .. so I love to ask this question:

What would life be like right now if SGI had made a laptop?

Remember how revolutionary Apples' tiBook felt at the time? A decent laptop running Unix .. how extraordinary!

Well, it could've been SGI. I wonder at that alternative future on the regular ..
