[comp.sys.sgi] New SGI machines on the horizon?

tarnoff@cme.nbs.gov (Nicholas Tarnoff) (06/16/89)

I am trying to formulate a best guess as to when SGI will be ready
introduce new SGI machines such as the introduction of the 4D
series following the 3000. This may be very premature and any guess
may only be accurate to within one year at best but that is okay.

I would appreciate input from anyone with usefull info. (users,
manufacturers, SGI, etc.).

Answers to questions such as the following would be helpful.
How many years elapsed between the introduction of the 3000 and the
4D? How well do past time frames apply and for what reasons?

I think that future time frames will be shorter than the previous.

Anyway, please email and/or post depending on how useful you think
your information may be to all comp.sys.sgi newsgroup readers.

I would like to use this information for possible INFORMAL long term
planning of our graphics goals.

Thank you very much in advance.
-Nicholas
