I don't know if it was posted before, but in case it wasn't - it's time for a little quiz. What movie is this?



It's not a fake

p.s. I've seen this movie several times, and only now noticed.

I havent actually seen it but thought that the Mars surface could relate to that movie (and the movie has also some other sgi-periphelia also?)..

i just watched mission to mars a couple of weeks ago. i thought for sure that one would have been mentioned before.

i also watch "Sphere". although there isn't any hardware, they make liberal use of 4DWM in monitor windows.

kind tough to search for reposts...

I'm just surprised anyone would watch Mission to Mars more than once, voluntarily.

I just wish some channel would show, "The Martian Chronicles" again. Not seen that in years. The kind of thing SciFi should
show, but instead most of their output is junk.

Best movie of decent quality I've come across recently is, "The Quiet Earth" (2003). Sadly, movies as of late have not been
that good, except for occasional gems like, "Pitch Black".

As for spotting SGI stuff in movies, sometimes it's best avoided. The shameless plug in, "Lost In Space" is seriously
cringeworthy (the Jupiter2 control room has many SGI displays). Interesting trivia from the IMDB though: "In the original
script and movie adaptation, it wasn't Silicon Graphics who co-sponsored the Jupiter mission, it was Coca-Cola."

In the new series of ncis i saw anew sgi flat panel monitor, not a 1600sw

I have that one (The Quiet Earth) DVD, one of the newer Anchor Bay releases. Also have "The Man Who Fell to Earth". However, "The Quiet Earth" came out in 1985...

As said before Jurassic Park, here are some more pics.

"I'm totally unappreciated in my time. You can run this whole park from this room, with minimal staff, for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight Connection Machines and de-bug two million lines of code for what I bid this job? Because if you can, I'd love to see him try."

Macintosh Quadra 700 on Nedry's desk there. Easily one of the most attractive computers ever, IMO. Wish the drive cage didn't sit over the RAM slots, but you can't have everything...

I'd like to get my hands on a Q700. I put a yearbook together on one (barely) in high school, was really pushing it's capabilities. I'd like to mess around on one again. I thought I had a line on one, but never got connected.

You can have mine if you can locate a Quadra 950.

Thanks for those Jurassic Park shots. I'm actually quite amazed how few I could find that were high quality like yours.

This system cannot be a Crimson because that 'gr_osview' shows CPU0 ... CPU3 usage. It's probably from a 4D/340 or similar system.

The box under the desk is obviously a Crimson. We've been tricked

Wasn't there something about the boxes on-screen were never actually on because of noise?
