Nobody ever makes the demo versions for Irix.  Well, almost no one.

It wasn't a waste of excersise.  You now have additional muscle, and a working
Onyx.  You could try Blender on it.  You could put OpenDX on it.  You could
aquire a license (free, just need to do paper work and have the capacity to
download and store 50 gigs or so of data) for the Visible Human Project and
play with that.  You could look for stuff to do with it on 
http://www.vis-sim.org/  You could loan it to a local college to do research 
eon.  Surely one can find reasonably inteligent research oriented college 
students down there.

Sigh.  Shakes head.  People had better be still selling a lot of these things
by the time I have enough desposable income to buy one.
