It just hit me that CMU's OED subscription doesn't work from our new ADSL IP, so I either have to set up some VPN thing which I fear, or kick my old OED into working under XP, or shell out for the current version.
If you have an X server on your machine, you could fire up a web browser on a CMU machine and direct the display back to your own. If you use ssh and compression, it's actually not too painful (netscape over compressed ssh is only a little slower than local mozilla for me).
