  We got a pre-release of 3.1G a while ago - I was not impressed.
  The interaction between X and the 4sight was terrible.  A lot of our
  other applications became flaky, so we backed down to 3.1F.

  I spoke to an SGI salesperson at SIGGRAPH and he said 3.2 would have
  a much better X implementation - he seemed think it would be coming
  pretty soon.  It would come with an EOE X enviroment and you would
  have to get the development stuff separately.

  ps: did anybody else see the 4D/280 ?  8 R3000's @ 160 mips!
