That reminds me of Aberdeen's idea of running an entire lab of about 40 machines on a single
segment of 10Base2 (thinnet), and having the machines run their Windows 3.1 swapfiles on a
single SPARCstation machine.

I think we had sixty or seventy on a single segment of 10base2, but I'm 
fairly sure we weren't swapping over the network. (We just did everything 
*else* over the network...)
