Today I had my first opportunity to use an Iris-4D ("clover"). It seems
very fast on some things.
My objection for the day is the keyboard. The location of the CTRL and
CAPS LOCK keys is *awful*. Obviously nobody at SGI uses EMACS.
It's sooooo bad, I log in to the 4D from my SUN! At $4k, a Sun-3/50
isn't too expensive to use as a keyboard for a $80k workstation, but
I would have expected better from the makers of $80k workstations.
Sigh. Human engineering is dead.
