That's interesting. Ours was a 1966 order, Kent University, although I 
think it took a year or two to arrive. I did (almost) my first 
programming on it (in BASIC), but graduated to hackinh in assembler a few 
weeks later. I managed to subvert the entire operating system but they 
never caught me. I ended up managing its successor.
