[Cialug] SGI O2 Woes

In the case of SGI machines (as far as I know), the OS license is tied to
the hardware, so that SHOULDN'T be a problem, but I'll google for it.

A quick google search for "used sgi" or "refurbished sgi" will turn up a ton
of places that could probably sell you a media kit. That's probably not
legal. You could always just call SGI sales and buy a
license:
