All of the grad students in my department - ten or twelve? - along with the few undergrads we had assisting our program - had to share a single medium-sized room, with no assigned seating. At least they had shared computers at every other seat. Sadly, I don't recall the chair situation.
One professor in my department was so protective of her lab's space that when she noticed me sitting at a desk assigned to one of her students, she went and complained directly to my advisor. The desk's owner was a friend of mine and on a month-long international trip at that time and I wasn't even making a habit of using his desk - it was just a convenient place to sit while talking to another one of her students.
How did you guys share computers? My work was 100% on the computer so we would have had to work in shifts if there had not been enough computers for everyone (but there were).
I had a very fancy portable hard drive using the brand-new USB protocol that could power itself from the PS/2 port.
