You who'd never seen an SGI working would be astonished by what it can do.

Beside being plain rude your wording clearly shows you have no clue about it...
I would be interested in seeing a quicktime video of what you consider so "astonishing" that the SGI can do. I am sure it was a very capable machine many years ago, but I agree with the rest (at least most of the others) that are here in saying that an Amiga is the better value and more useful. If the SGI O2 was so fantastic it would have a larger user base still and command a higher price to obtain one at eBay or any other auction site. Like most here, I will stick with my Amigas and pass on your offer to trade unless you can demonstrate something amazing your SGI can do that I can't accomplish on my A4000 Toaster/Flyer and do it at least two or four times faster on the SGI. What software are you offering on the SGI? Does it come with a monitor, keyboard, mouse? 300mHz and 256mb RAM does not sound like much these days, so you need to sell the idea of trading your SGI in some way to make it sound like a good trade, and I have not seen anything you have written yet to entice anyone here. You have only been argumentative about the opinions of Amiga users and what we think our Antique Computers are worth and you have taken offense in many cases, where I don't think you should have. After all everyone is entitled to their own opinion and Amiga users here at A.org will obviously prefer Amigas over most, if not all other choices in computing.
Good luck with your attempt to complete the trade. I hope you can obtain an A4000 in some way as they are great fun and when expanded fully with the right parts, can produce AMAZING video results. :-D
