When I was at the University of Birmingham in the 90's there was an entire lab of SparcStations that was always overly busy ... but I always preferred the much quieter lab that was hardly used which was replete with DEC Alpha machines

This is why, as a UK based traveller, I aim to get to the airport for international flights so that I can check in when checkin opens 3 hours before the flight. At least I'm usually sat in a comfortable lounge for the extra time, and c
