Actually, before I do that, let me add that this "big SGI in the machine room thing" eventually morphed into a "let's make a holodeck for doing VR!" thing. Yeah, because that's exactly what scientists want. Freaking VR! To use when you're able to sneak in sessions between the HS student tours and you're prepared to take the afternoon off afterwards to sooth the resulting migraine.
Dear metaverse, 1996 called and wants its dumb idea back. Thanks.
