I spent most of grad school with one Octane on top of my desk (my primary machine) and a second one under my desk. Beautifully engineered, rock solid and great for their time. But SGI's steps post about 1998 were just crazy. Windows boxes with no software, a failure to realize how powerful linux systems were going to get, and losing their OpenGL team to NVidia.

Will certainly be missed.
