New discussion: What was your first computer?

[Grumbler]

I forget the nominclature, but it was the fire contol computer out of an A-6 bomber. I helped 'salvaged' it out of a spare parts bird (aka hanger queen). I remember that it was a rotary drum computer that used relays about the size of a matchbox. It had 128 (64?) of them and read 'programs' off a punched tape. The approved debugging routine involved a kick in the side when you heard a relay stick. I think I helped salvage it to try and figure out a way to win at keno. Not to sure about that, but I do remember that it seemed like a good idea at the time
