@flexion Irix was where I learned Alias PowerAnimator v6.0 back in the '90s. A friend of the family was going on vacation for a few months and didn't want his expensive Indy workstation to sit unused so he lent it to me. I was madly impressed by Irix. It still looks like the best GUI design ever!
@bojanlandekic @flexion I still hear the crystal clear sounds when clicking on the toolchest or an icon on the desktop while sitting at an Octane in 2000, maintaining an art installation by Sommerer & Mignonneau during the exhibition „vision.ruhr“ in Dortmund. https://235media.de/2000/12/vision-ruhr/?lang=en Great experience.
