I concur. I worked on Indigo, Indy and Challenge boxes, together with Joze Senegacnik, another member of this group. Beautiful boxes, even for today's standard (Irix 4 and Irix 5 at that time). Indy used to have a webcam long, long time before it became standard. Playing bz was fun, too. Good, old days!
