I used to use a 660AV (accelerated to 32MHz) for photoshop, and I had said
plug-in.  Was very cool.  Still miss that box, it was fun...

Yeah, but a 660AV is a cool mac.  An O2 is nothing more than an SGI.
(Remember, I am legendary for my hatred of SGI.  I'd rather own a
<<shudder>> PC than anything that bunch of morons produced.  I hope that
