I believe that one of them became a firewall computer and
the others were sold.

Hmm, I don't suppose we could talk you out of any of those

SGI machines?

Have to ask, it's scrounger law.

This is a very good description of ProE with the exception
of:
"Also, it will run (like poop) on an NT box"
While the performance may be higher on the high end Unix
workstations, it
most certainly doesn't run like poop on high end NT
workstations. We have
about 15 seats of ProE and they are all running on NT boxes.
We started out
running them on silicon graphics boxes but have
decommissioned all of them.
We do use video boards that cost more the the average 800
MHz Pentium
computer, but that is besides the point.
Also, we do not design rocket engines for flight to Pluto,
so our
computational needs are probably not the same as some users.
