Found this on Imgur pic of IRIS Indigo, a line of workstations developed and manufactured by SGI, was first announced in July 1991. It ran IRIX Unix and was well known for various apps in the 90s such as those used in 3D Graphics and Animation, and other industries. There was a time when workstation/desktop OSes spied zero on you, and you were in total control of your data, unlike Microsoft, which dominates this space these days. #unix #history

@nixCraft I worked an an SGI workstation from 1991-1992 doing science fair projects at the local university on DNA analysis to generate my graphics. I ran the C programs on IBM RISC stations, and generated the graphics on the SGI. Then turned around and used a Mac to create the presentation documents. Great times!
