Hmm.  My main rembrances of the Gould were the requirements for sound
deadening ear phones if you were within twenty feet of it.  That and the
fact that didn't have to turn on the heat in our office as long as it
was running.

I did build gdb on it, though, I believe.  IIRC, the native debugger was
abysmal.

Hmm.  Not much of a eulogy.  Hmm.  I remember the noise it made when we
plugged it into its 220V outlet and the electrician got the phase wrong.

Good times... good times...

Anyway, I think a very brief note would be fitting.  I'll do it if a
symbolic gesture is required.
