OK, I've been staying out of this for *ever* so long, but if you can top
this, you're *really* VERY old! My first machine was Illiac I at Urbana,
1955, next IBM 704 in Madison 1956 (Eric is my colleague and though he's
old, I'm older (even)). [NB: I assume it's electronic computers we're
talking about, but I did have some earlier experiences with Marchants,
Fridens, and Monroe calculators, kerchunk, kerchunk!]
