I remember the first real computer (i.e. not a bunch of Hollerith cards) 
I got my sweaty, teenage paws onto
was called a Research Machine 380Z . . .

. . . obviously somebody, somewhere, in the mid-70's felt that using a 
'Z' was "sexy"!

However, "sexy" or not, the Research Machine 380Z was about as erotic as 
a black box hooked up to a computer monitor can be!
