I didn't have the same experiences as her (at all) but on my first day at Sun, circa 1990, I was given an OS tape, a 3/260 and a cardboard box full of VME cards (some functional) and was expected to get it onto the network and get X11 installed... Never having had to do that kind of thing before, it took me almost a week to boot.

You got a 3/260 on your first day? Lucky! I got a Sun i386, but quickly replaced it with a 3/260, and then, eventually, a Sparcstation. I built SWAN out of 3/260s as routers. Those were good machines. :-)
