When I was involved it was an x86 machine in a rack in Rhodes Hall.

I had a copy of the whole thing under my desk though in Olin Library on a Pentium 3 machine from IBM that was built like a piece of military hardware. In April the sun would shine in the windows of my office, the HVAC system was unable to cool my office, and temperatures would soar above 100F and I'd be sitting there in a tank top and drinking a lot of water and sports drinks and visitors would ask me how I could stand it.

Thanks for confirming. We need to stop marketing for AWS by talking about the ability to use the internet in AWS branded product terms.
