[plug] What was your first computer?

[Simon Scott]

	Saw an old asian guy using an abacus once in a market somewhere

	All I could say was 'Wow'.... I reckon you could play quake on him
if you gave him a sugary drink

	Now, slide rules bring back memories.

	We had two models; the cheap ones, and the more expensive, Faber
Castell
	slide rules, with all the whizz-bang extras.

	I notice that no-one has yet mentioned the abacus. Now, those were
	interesting devices. No bugs, either...
