The Indy was a very popular platform for building an early web presence. I know, because I used it for multiple, major media companies who were getting onto the train.
The Indy had poor graphics capabilities, compared to the other desktop machines SGI was making at the time - I was excited to see what might have happened if SGI had kept going in this direction, and made a laptop.
Instead they did a deal with the devil and died.
I got a tiBook to use as a terminal for my SGI boxes at the time, and well now, 20 years later, a table full of Apple gear and the Octane2’s in storage, probably to be dusted off by a descendent some day .. it is sort of extraordinary that Apple ate SGI’s lunch in the Unix workstation department.
You could always repurpose the SGI machine for anything else too.
