		metaobject on Oct 16, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Sad Saga of Silicon Graphics (1997) IRIX was how I got hooked on zsh. There was something beautiful about the toaster-like O2 that I had on my desk. That machine had some rather impressive graphics abilities (for the time) and was a pleasure to use. It was similar to modern-day Apple products in its beauty.

I always always jealous of those workstations.

To this day whenever I set up a new desktop I always make the window titles with black italics on a grey stripe. Just because that was so cool.
