OK, I misread the question.  The first computer I USED was a time share
in high school.  I think it was a Burroughs 5000 or something similar
based at Texas A & M.  We loaded it with a tape reader on a teletype
machine.

Soon after that I got to mess, hands on, with an IBM 1620.  Cool to
mess with all one summer.
