Indigo 2

[ehowton]

Got home from Parker's and with the time change and mimosas, passed tf out at 2000 hours after a hot shower, sleeping 8-hours, awaking once.

Dreamed Dorian's little yellow car was a very early model Esprit...with gulwing doors. It was a lot of fun to drive (and I had a few close calls) but that didn't seem to bother Dorian who was in the passenger seat. Both kids were in the back. It didn't dawn on me until I awoke that the Esprit didn't have back seats. All four of us were having a nice time, but of course there was the usual maze of shopping malls and strip malls, narrow streets in which to navigate in the Lotus, and heavy, closed double-doors in which to first open before I could drive through.

Second dream I was at the plant, but it was less cubicles and more open workspaces. At one point an acquaintance had found a couple of SGI Indigo 2 workstations which had been retired. I got one and he got the other. I was thrilled to install an operating system on them. At first I was going to install Irix, but then decided Slackware would be a better option, able to utilize the older hardware. His was brand new and unused. When we cracked the case to see what was inside, we discovered none of the internal components were even connected - they were still in their clear plastic bags. I told him I would help him as he was a Windows admin and had no experience with building out unix systems. I was hoping he wasn't planning on installing Windows on the box.
