There was one Mac, and a bunch of SGI Indys.  We (those of us who admin'd
Irix 5.x, the Irix of the Jurassic Park movie) laughed when the comment
was made about having never been down before.  Anyone who has any
experience at all with Irix 5.x knows it leaks memory like it was free,
and needs a good reboot to the head every so often.  And the graphical
interface the little girl was digging around in is SGI's buttonfly
environment.
