SGI "granite" AT-101

deltuh · 30 July 2010

Greetings, first post here... etc etc.

I just found this while browsing the list. Apparently it's got ALPS switches. I would go get it even though it's a good hour and a half round trip drive, yet I'm looking for a cherry brown board.

Anyway, my contribution:

Never mind that it comes with a "free" computer.

You could at least use the case for something creative!

Or you could use the computer itself?

Darn, I want that computer =( and especially the keyboard. I'm sure I could use it for something...

I just love interesting looking computers like that, instead of DULL DELL or hell-crappard. Or other horrible brands like ACER, E-MACHINES, GATEWAY, uhhhh... lenovo? The new lenovo computers are fairly ugly (or basically look like an HP rip off):

Have fun trying to run Windows on it.

On the flipside, it does have one of the best operating systems of the 90s.

Who said I stick windows on everything I use? I don't recall praising windows as the best OS in any of my posts (if anything, I said OS/2 Warp was actually the more advanced "windows" as it supported NTFS & FAT, whereas 98 is only FAT32 if I'm not mistaken). Heh, you could say it's FAT with legacy stuff.

Although, it also depends what software was made for a particular OS. One of the reasons why windows is so popular. If I could run the majority of my stuff [natively] in something other than windows, I'd gladly ditch it.

EDIT: remember, I'm an IBMer, not microsoftee.

Windows NT was available for the MIPS cpu originally ... but I doubt that anybody would want to run it, even if drivers for the SGI were available.

Going back to 3.51 are we? Run Linux like I do on my MIPS based routers.

lenovo isn't IBM.

lenovo phased out some IBM products and stuck their logo on it, but now most of lenovo's products are shifting away and look like any generic major OEM out there.

Mind you, the lenovo products that are copies of IBM's designs are good. Just not lenovo's crappy yucky horrible designs. YUCK. makes me ill in my stomach.

The last x86-derived IBM system worthy of any special attention would be something in the PS/2 lineup...and even then, only as a conversation piece regarding the downfall of IBM (which the PS/2 marked the beginning of).

I assume you're not counting servers, like the xSeries/System x/BladeCenter stuff.
