One correction though, IRIX has been around since late `83 or early `84. GL2-W (internally referred to by SGI as "Silicon Graphics System V") was IRIX 1. The name came along in `86 a short time after the introduction of the Professional Iris 4D/60. 4D1-3 (IRIX 3) refers to itself as IRIX when booting, but SGI didn't officially call its UNIX IRIX until IRIX 4 in 1991 with the IRIS Indigo. GL2-W or GL2-T if terminal (IRIX 1.0-1.6) 1983-1987 4D1-1 and 4D1-2 (IRIX 2 1.0-2.3) 1986-1987 4D1-3 (IRIX 3.0-3.3.2) 1988-1990 IRIX 4 (4.0-4.0.5MM) 1991-1993 IRIX 5 (5.0-5.3 XFS) 1993-1995 IRIX 6 (6.0-6.5.30) (1994-2006) Good read, and I feel the same way.
