I might have posted this before, but the Mark Potse in this press 
release: 
http://www.sgi.com/company_info/newsroom/press_releases/2008/january/udm.html 
was a PhD student of mine and when he is in the Netherlands we share a 
room at work.

I did try to find a way to get SGI interested in getting POV compiled on 
that Altix, I did not succeed yet. Perhaps I try again, this time with 
the pretext that in a meeting in Munich next year I will organize a 
track on Art and Scientific Visualization. BTW anyone working in science 
here is invited to join that, I will do a formal announcement when I 
have more details.
