Heh, I don't need to imagine that. The orchard cluster in Lindley Hall
was great for that in the 90's. It was also fun to run "xv -root" and
put up inappropriate pictures as the root of their desktop, run many
copy of xeyes all over the screen, and fork bomb them when some noob was
using a sun so they could check their mail on the vms cluster...
