Cool.
Yup, I was with SGI from 1991-1995 in Mountain View (saw a few Dead concerts at Shoreline), and until 2000 in Colorado. The biggest 'event' I remember were huge buses lined up on the SGI campus loading employees for a private screening of Jurassic Park somewhere in San Jose. I don't recall the theatre. The party after the show featured Todd Rundgren.
Lucas / ILM were not my customer but it was "Hollywood" that brought attention to SGI, not NASA Ames, Boeing, Sandia Labs, Lawrence Livermore, Lockheed, NCAR, etc.
Fun times.
