My work is getting increasingly surreal

I’m debugging both a Windows driver and the client application that talks to it. I have a Windows XP machine running WinDbg to debug a Windows 2000 machine at the kernel level over the serial line. The same Windows XP machine is running Microsoft Visual Studio to debug the client application on the Windows 2000 machine at the user level over TCP/IP. Neither of these machines exist in the physical world: they’re both figments of the imagination of VMware Workstation running on a Linux machine.
Of course, given that people will happily exchange real goods and services for having arbitrary numbers juggled in a bank’s computer, this isn’t too out of the ordinary for the modern world.
