A kitten for you!
Hello there Rudi. I saw your edits and although they did not meet encyclopedic requirements of having reliable sources (WP:RS) and had to be deleted, they did inspire me to do the necessary research and writing. I felt so bad, and it gave me the motivation I'd needed. I expanded SGI Indy to demonstrate that IndyCam (and thus Teleview) was essential to Indy's launch as the world's first camera-equipped personal computer, and all its other launch accolades such as putting a dent in Quadra. I assume you'll be quite proud of that fact, because that information was long lost to dead trees, and now Wikipedia Library and Google Books give free access to online archives of old magazines and newspapers. I grew up in the 90s with a primary goal in life of trying to use as much SGI as possible, including Nintendo 64, Indy, Indigo2, and IndyCam. I have done a lot to clean up the deplorable state of SGI topics on Wikipedia, but that has mostly consisted of deleting fancruft, trivia, and other garbage. I need a lot more journalistic reviews and historical overviews, so I welcome any tips regarding names of magazines, newspapers, and journalists who covered SGI in a specifically meaningful way, play by play. Your personal anecdotes would be extremely welcome on SGI fan sites like https://irixnet.org/. Thank you.
