Packrat genome project questions

The first REAL computer i have used was a CDC Cyber-7600 at the
University of Stuttgart. I took a FORTRAN77 course, and we used punched
cards.
Actually, that's why i took the course...
I never owned that one. My parents would not let me 8-)

My first own computer was a 8085-based single board computer, with led
output and hex keyboard, from a small german company named "Graf
Electronik". That was in 1982.
I still have that one (it works!), and, IIRC every single one i build or
accuired later on. I am THE packrat, according to my wife...
Except for some PC's, but they don't count, i think.

            People disagree with me.  I just ignore them.
