Ha, I still have those manuals standing in the bookshelf, next to
Rossano's "Inside Softimage|3D" book. ;-)
I started dabbling with Softimage|3D 3.7 I think, on a blue and bubbly
SGI 02, and picked up XSI at 3.0 on WinNT, replacing 3DSMax.
Bought Foundation for dabbling at home at some point, but that was
quickly replaced with a Essentials license.
Good times ;-)
And after spending some time in Houdini and Maya lately, it's sad to see
how truly elegant Softimage is compared to other packages.
Sure, it has it's quirks too, but nothing beats Softimage in workflow,
compared to the click-fest that is many other apps....

Myself I started with XSI 4.2. I still remember the big heavy box of
manuals with the liquidy orangey flower art. :) Good times.

I start with Softimage 3D 1.5.2 back then, running on
Personal IRIS
Still come as QIC Tapes, and a bunch of hard cover
manuals and with IRIX manuals, that took a lot of
space on the shelves.
Must be somewhere in 1990
Go through terrible 2.0, which fix with 2.0.3
My last version on Softimage 3D was 3.7

I'll certainly never forget 2.66. And 2.66b, and
2.66c, and......
