How could I forget?  I guess I found the situation so ridiculous
(on top of everything else, the IDM link for the DBMS class used to
crash the slovax hourly) that I reasoned, "well anyone could get
these assignments done on a real machine--where's the challenge
in that?"   Hey I remember putting a cc -c for a 50-line module
in the background once, going over to Union South and watching a
THREE HOUR movie, coming back, and having gotten only a few
seconds CPU.  Back in my day, sonny...

So lighten up.  No one is ignorant of the problems.  The poster
of the above quote is now at a Bell Labs site (or what was one
before the breakup), so he too must have more than survived his
experience.
