Got ya beat.  First managed a Univac (can't recall the model), moved to
an S/360, Burroughs Medium System 12, Xerox Sigma 7, DG Nova 2/10, DEC
PDP-8, PDP-11/45 and VAX 11/785, THEN got the Altairs and IMSAIs (and
Amigas and clones and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!).

And now, back to the real topic.  (What was it again? I forget...)
