[Beowulf] [External] Re: old sm/sgi bios

[Prentice Bisbal]

Between 2003 and 2007, I worked with a lot of O2s, Octanes, an 8-way 
Origin 350, and even a Tezro. I don't miss those days.

I always felt like the design of their workstations was done by the same 
people who design Playskool toys rather than professional hardware.
