Does anyone out there know of any of the older SGI machines for sale?  I
would be very interested in picking one up if they're available for a
reasonable price.

Is the software written for the newer machines (like the 4D) compatible
with the older machines?  I assume the software written for the older
ones runs OK on the newer ones, right?

	Thanks,
