I never got this close to one; the one we used (for my part, only
experimentally) was 135 miles away.

One of my colleagues found a way to crash it. "Look, if I do this it
stops working" ... took 45 minutes to reinitialize the VM. Not popular.

The IDE was basically Emacs (re-implemented in Ada, I suppose!) but at
the time space-cadet keyboards were outside our experience, and in any
case we had to use Sun 3/50's so the key bindings were extra weird.
