	Of course, we (of my generation) were exposed to our share of
IBM 1620's, 1130's, and 360/30-E's.  What I first learned to
"program", was none of there.  Prior to learning PDP-6/10 allembly
language at MIT, most of my programming was on an Ollivetti-Underwood
Programma 101.

	My heart still yearns for the flashing red and green lights ...
the internal delay line ... the program cards ... the precision wheel ...
and the "Gen Reset" button.

	Sigh ...

	Anyone know where I can find one for a fix?
