Some heat pumps seem to be a similar size and shape to a conventional gas boiler. They don't all need to be a big box outside.

Porting CMUCL to x86 required someone having access to a machine that it already ran on as well as a 386 running UNIX, plus knowing that the CMUCL sources were available and having internet access to get hold of them. I think these were the
