alt Hacker NewsThey didn't seem to state a year this was occurring in, and from what is written it sounds like the internet connection was insanely slow.
Back in the 95-2010 range so many places outside of towns had pretty much no internet. Maybe you'd get a meg or two up and down. Can't do much offsite with that.

It sounds like one of the VMs was a samba file server, to serve shared files for the workstations in the office. That was a common thing to run locally in the office, to keep latency down.

Maybe it was modified in the last two hours, but at least now it says "About 16 years ago".
