We still have offset audio, one camera is slightly out of focus and Mo starts requiring a haircut, but on the plus side we discuss our weird origin story in terms of apps and tools we used. To at some point in the future arrive at a conclusion what THE BEST (!!!) 3D app out there might be…
YESS!! POVray !! Got me in to lots of trouble at Uni… ( Admin:” You are using almost all the space on /BIGTMP. And stop touch *.gif every day…”) http://www.aero-simulation.de was the culprit. Still There !!!
And we had AIXen with 19″ Screens 1280*1024 Those Dials and LPF Keys 64MB and some with even 128MB. we had 5 of them “publicly” accessible. Guess who spent his time 8-20 there!
Later we found out, someone in the “Rechenzentrum” had an Indy…
We surely shocked him a few times by not cleverly configuring our Doom clients…
(Kinda forgot sound redirection, which then occured at said WS, instead of our local machines…)
Biggest beast I got my hands on was an Fujitsu Siemens Vektor machine…. COOL BEAST. But sadly with a stringent job scheduling… You needed an application signed by your profs… But… *redacted*

We later switched to playing MIDI MAZE !!
(A really good thing to do on then ca. USD100,000 machines…)
Later I bought myself an AIX off eB , which would have cost me at release date quite a 7 figure price tag for just 700. That was a cool thing. It ran 24/7 for almost 8 years with no hickups… (Try running WinAnything for more than 2 days without rebooting…. )
