And?

> Now surely there's more to the Onyx 2 than drawing triangles, but to have a massive machine that eats power like it's for free (which it isn't), just because it used to be really sexy 20 years ago... aren't you just thinking about the time that YOU were 20 years younger? ;)

Nope.  Its a great machine, good for many, many other things besides rendering triangles.  Plus, its loaded .. and some of the onboard software is pretty kick-ass, even still ..
