I have had a preview of the next surplus auction at the local
university and saw two Silicon Graphics Iris computers, sans monitors
and keyboards.  They didn't appear to have floppy drives.  I think
they are unix machines.  Do you think they might be of any use?
Things like this commonly go for next to nothing at these auctions.

We are currently using SG Indigo machines to run VSAERO (a CFD program).
They will run the program in less than 1/3 the time of HP or Sun unix
machines..i.e. they are fast. They are hooked up to the network but also
have zip drives. We need to get special permission to use them, and the
university only has about ten of them, as far as I know, so they must be
pretty good. This is about all I know about these computers, but if you
have specific questions I can find answers for you.
