No, it's pretty cool. I still have a DEC VT220 terminal in my server room. Works great. So the real issue here is what OS are you running? You see, you can generally get GCC ready to run on a whole whack of operating systems. I have no clue how people do things on Windows but at least in the Linux/UNIX world things are fairly easy. So I hope you have Linux. If not then someone else has to chime in on the Windows situation.
