Indigo: time to upgrade?
========================

I think  that it  may be unusual  but my preferred  way to  read Gopher
phlogs is the Netscape Navigator 3.0.1 on the SGI Indigo workstation.
I don't know why but I like this  setup more than the Lynx on any other
computer (including my SGI O2).

These  days it  is the  main use  of my  Indigo. I  have p3nfs  here to
communicate with  Psion Series 3  devices (although it stopped  to work
when I  added the  Czech keyboard  to my Series  3a) and  several other
tools. But I use it mainly for Gopher stuff.

My machine is the first-generation  Silicon Graphics IRIX Indigo. So it
has the 32bit  R3000 CPU (@33MHz) and  it can accomodate up  to 96MB of
RAM. I  have 80MB.  It should be  enough but when  I open  20+ Netscape
windows then the system starts to comply about available RAM size.

So I'm  thinking about  RAM upgrade.  It would  be expensive  (SGI used
proprietary memory  in this  generation of machines)  and it  will mean
that I will have  to remove at least 1/3 of RAM modules  and to add new
(bigger) ones.

So I'm thinking it it makes sense to do such upgrade or not...
