What's this? The #VirtualOSmuseum includes #SGI #Irix? Ooh shiny! I didn't think there were any working emulators. Now downloading so I can pick it apart and see how it does it, and then replicate without the extra gigabytes of baggage. And then I shall install my favourite #compiler EVAR, #MIPSPro, which I affectionately call a complier, not a compiler, because it really led the field in whining about bad non-standard C.

Catch of the Day: A visit from the SGI graphics forge! 🦖
Hey Retro Fans!
While many of us still had gray towers sitting under our desks in the late 90s, the world of high-end graphics looked completely different. And today, we had a visitor straight from that world:
Netscape Navigator 4.75C-SGI on an SGI IRIX system!
This is absolutely mind-blowing! SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) built workstations that were as expensive as sports cars and as powerful as mainframes. Whether it was "Jurassic Park," "Terminator 2," or the architecture of the Nintendo 64—all of it was developed on SGI machines running the IRIX operating system.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone fires up their SGI Indy, Indigo, or perhaps even a massive Octane workstation, launches the Netscape 4.75C customized exclusively for IRIX, and browses the web on FrogFind simply goes to show: True hardware legends never die.
A reverent greeting to the lucky owner of this UNIX dream machine!

Catch of the Day: The Forefather of the World Wide Web! 🏛️🕸️
Hey Retro Fans!
Hold your breath and bow in reverence. Today, our FrogFind radar didn't just catch an old browser; it caught the absolute foundation of the modern internet. Between all the Nintendos and dusty Windows PCs, this gigantic milestone appeared:
NCSA Mosaic 2.7b5 on UNIX (X11)!
For those who weren't online in the early 90s: Mosaic, developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), was the first web browser that could display images inline next to text (rather than in a separate window). Starting in 1993, it was the spark that made the World Wide Web appealing to the masses! The Mosaic team later went on to found Netscape, and even Microsoft's first Internet Explorer was based on licensed Mosaic code.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone boots up a UNIX machine (perhaps an old Sun SPARCstation or an SGI) and navigates our frog pond using the final beta version of NCSA Mosaic (from around 1996) is like operating a working time machine. It proves one thing: True HTML survives decades.
A reverent cheer to the pioneers of the internet!

Catch of the Day: The Jurassic Park Workstation! 🦖🖥️
Hey Retro Fans!
Hold on to your UNIX manuals, because today our FrogFind radar detected an absolute Hollywood star in the frog pond. Between the usual handhelds and Windows PCs, this breathtaking identifier suddenly appeared:
Netscape Navigator 4.75C-SGI on SGI IRIX!
For those who weren't in IT in the 90s: SGI stands for Silicon Graphics Inc. and IRIX was their proprietary UNIX operating system. SGI workstations (like the legendary Indigo2 or O2) were incredibly expensive, highly specialized graphics monsters. It was on exactly these machines that the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park, the liquid Terminator in T2, and even the hardware architecture for the Nintendo 64 were developed!
The fact that these Hollywood heavyweights came with their own specially customized version of the Netscape Navigator (the "C-SGI" at the end) straight from the manufacturer was standard back then. The fact that today, over 25 years later, a retro enthusiast boots up one of these UNIX legends, loads the IRIX OS, and surfs through our frog pond using the original SGI Netscape is retro computing at the absolute highest level.
Cheers to the Silicon Graphics workstations—may your MIPS processors calculate forever!

Since I am on an accidental #nostalgia (naustalgia?) trip in trying to find old #MUD things, this one popped up on my Facebook feed which may amuse the #RetroComputing #VAX #VMS and #History of the #Internet folks.
This was UKNet's office in about 1994-1995
I think there are some #SUN and #SGI machines in there too, there definitely were somewhere.

Klar wird das was
Das Thema ist ja nicht neu, dieses Buch ist 1999 von einer Werbeagentur entstanden
Damals gabs solche Bücher einfach nicht
#FilmGimp bzw. #CinePaint wurde in vielen Filmen benutzt wie #HarryPotter, #PlanetDerAffen
Namhafte Studios wie #DreamWorks etc steuerten Code bei
Ein Film der zu 100% mit #blender animiert wurde hat schon einen #Oscar gewonnen
Und Blender lief sogar schon auf #AmigaOS 🙈 & auch auf die damals 🐖 teuren #SGI Maschinen von #Hollywood und co

Found an interesting story about the origin of the SGI logo while reading IRIS Universe, Spring 1987 issue..
Puzzle artist Scott Kim designed the Silicon Graphics logo entirely using JAM, a pre-PostScript language from Xerox. He started with a cube, looped a continuous tube around its vertices, rounded the corners, then rotated it so the 2D projection reads as both a hexagonal flower and a 3D object.
@flexion have you seen this?
