I started sysadminning in 1999 and I recall that era, although I wasn't primary for anything until just before Y2K. When the other admins quit and I got to do the shutdown/startup. But it wasn't a high-pressure organization. ;-)
Now I'm back in a small shop without most of those amenities you list, but .... once again, luckily ..... it's not high pressure.
I absolutely burned out when I was in a high-pressure shop without good failovers/clustering/etc.
