I had an Indigo2 on my desk in college. I moved back and forth between that an a NeXT cube that a colleague had in their lab. The NeXT was nice but SLOW. The Indigo2 wasn't especially fast but it was nice and could do visual things that just weren't available as readily on our alternatives. We had SunOS and Solaris systems that were mostly used for network and engineering projects, and I was engaged in some visualization work. When the O2 was announced I was quite sure it would be the solution to our speed issues.. around the same time, another colleague was the first to install a beta of Win95, and it did seem awfully pretty.
