No, I'm saying it's a Silicon Graphics workstation that's some three years old, running Irix - and hence, no such thing as a "C drive." Specifically, it's an SGI Indigo2 High Impact (purple, like Barney) and has the Cosmo Compress board to do video compression and digitizing through JPEG, in hardware, in realtime...

It may be old, but this machine was used to make films like Jurassic Park, The Mask and many, many more. Watch "The Peacemaker" with George Clooney sometime. There are several, long segments - where these machines and the Indy's are shown in the "war room scenes."

It does realtime OpenGL. It whoops O2s and most low-end Octanes. STILL. Great for all manner of things...

It's an ass-kickin' system, but the software is very, very expensive. They use it in Hollywood for post-effects processing, titling and 3D animation, modelling and rendering.

The scientific community uses 'em for realtime data modelling and visualization for GIS and space applications.

I just mount my 50.2GB RAID 0+1 over the network and use that for storage...
