I liked my IRIX on SGI Indy and SGI O2 workstations back when I was animating commercials and proficient in Unix. I've forgotten most of it but still know enough to be dangerous. And worse - back then we were dependent on the IT guys to keep it all running smoothly.

Then Microsoft moved in, bought SoftImage, and everything was ported to Windows.

I liked Ubuntu before they started limiting you.

I'm trying out Mint Cinnamon, but I need to reconfig my whole work space here to do it properly.

    That was the 1990's. And now even SoftImage has been retired.
