Here's mine.  I've got it running on a mono vs2000 with "only" 6 meg.  MIT 11.3
runs just fine on this machine, but DECwindows is a **PIG**.  A terminal
window seems to take up something like >>>>900k<<<<<.  The machine pages like
crazy, and performance is *severely* bad.

As far as compatibility, I tried to run some of the core MIT 11.3 programs
from remote machines on it.  Some of them wouldn't run at all, others ran
strangely.  xeyes, for example, ran, but with the upper right quarter of
everything (the pupil, the circle, etc...) missing!

I'm underwhelmed.
