#sgio2 — Public Fediverse posts

@mbbrutman Nice! Reminds me of the SGI O2Cam / MooseCam on my O2.

This is a rare in depth video of the SGI O2 being used by an actual VFX artist. It's the first in a series that I'm very excited for.

The O2 has always been my favorite SGI workstation, ever since I discovered it as a teenager, in the pages of PC Magazine. It was powerful AND beautiful!

@gloriouscow I have an O2. I set out to get an Indy, but got an O2. The O2 is cool, but everything I've used it for I could've done more cheaply and quietly and in less space with an Indy. Maybe get an Indy.

Right now the O2 system is on the shelf because I needed space for an Apple IIe.

Here's a gallery of my O2 in its various settings: https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157604335087061/

Warum ist die SGI O2 so cool?

🔹 Innovatives Design: Schaut aus wie ein futuristischer Toaster, ist aber eine High-End-Workstation.

🔹 IRIX OS: UNIX mit Stil – und einer GUI, die sich auch heute noch sehen lassen kann.

🔹 Grafikpower: 3D, Video, und Bildbearbeitung, bevor Photoshop cool war.

🔹 Nostalgie-Boost: Einmal hochgefahren, fühlt man sich instant ins Silicon-Valley der 90er katapultiert.

SGI O2 ist zurück aus der Zukunft!

Silicon Graphics bringt 1996 O2 auf den Markt. Eine kompakte Workstation mit mehr Multimediapower als so manches heutige Smartphone und der Monitor ist ein echtes Stück High-End-Geschichte! 🎬✨

Wonder what happened to Ralf Baechle, he was always helpful with my newbie #linuxmips questions many years ago. #linux #mips #sgi #sgiO2

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!).

This is a Unix system! I know this!

#SGI O2 that won't power on. Probably PSU dead, any ideas anyone ? #retrocomputing #retrohardware #unix #silicongraphics #sgio2

February 2006:
Installing #IRIX 6.5 on the #SGI O2. It's a very odd unix system in so many ways and why isn't vector based icons still a thing?
