Here's another scenario in which a non-textured world is useful: We develop
IRIX software on an ("old") Indy R5K and an Indigo II to run on our Onyx RE2
because the Onyx is not always available for development. It's much more
productive to have a non-textured mode available on the slower machines.
I agree with Curt's comments concerning SGI vs. modern PC graphics hardware,
but hope that the efforts of Erik and others to keep FGFS alive on IRIX will
continue.
