On Indigo again
===============

I am  running my Silicon Graphics  IRIS Indigo R3000 once  again. There
was some failure in the past so today it is a sort of test.

I have  opened the  Bongusta in  the Netscape 3.0  and I'm  reading the
phlogs  now. I  have been  doing this  from my  main machine  in rather
regular  fashion but  - for  some reasons  - I  feel better  when I  am
reading the Gopher on the SGI.

I  also have  been running  some of  my new  Octave scripts  which have
written  in  the  time  when  the  Indigo was  not  in  use  (this  old
workstation runs  the GNU  Octave 2.0  so some thing  often have  to be
changed to run modern Octave - or even Matlab - scripts here).

I also have  started to convert one  of these scripts to  the BBC BASIC
syntax. This will need some time as the BASIC is not that good for math
operations but I want to be able  to run this particular thing not only
on the  Cambridge Z88  but also on  my PDP-11 (with  use of  the modern
PDP-11 port of the BBC Basic [1]).

It's  pretty  refreshing  to  use  something  like  an  old  good  UNIX
workstation instead of all that modern stuff I have to run every day...
