On SGI again
============

I have been using my SGI machines  so infrequently so every time I boot
one I also wrote a phlog post...

Actually, I  have booted  my O2  to transfer some  phlog posts  from my
PSION MC600 to the  SDF server. For some reason I  think that using the
SGI machine (with actual serial ports)  is easier and faster than using
anything else.

Maybe, there is also an effect  of the SGI's excellent terminal fonts -
their terminal  are easier  to use  (for me)  than any  other one  - no
matter if  it's any  sort of  Linux terminal or  the iTerm  or anything
else...

I also prefer to read gopher in the Lynx on that terminal.

Also,  I prefer  to  write phlogs  on  the MC600  laptop.  It has  big,
comfortable keyboard with full-size keys, huge LCD screen and in can be
used anywhere without battery anxiety  (actually, I don't know how long
it can work on  its 8xAA battery pack - it measures  in tens of hours).
And I can use the MC600 in my bed - the SGI O2 does not fit here :-(

The only  limitation is  that I  cannot easily  run spell  checker here
(it's the 80186 box with the DOS 3.3). The DOS Ispell port messes up my
screen and I have hot find any  other option. The Z88 is better in this
point but it loses in the LCD readability and keyboard usability.
