I still remember my Masters degree in distributed computing. C++ in vi (not even vim), monochromatic display, 36 computers working together to give me a bunch of SIGSEGV.

The joys of distributed algorithms. You can now get more errors, more quickly than before!

I remember writing a chat system in assembler, for DOS, using, IIRC, IPX networking. When it went wrong, one or more machines would just freeze, with the string "NETWORK ABEND" in the middle of the screen.
