Beat you by around five years; I got to use a Stantec Zebra on a summer "Numerical Methods, Statistics & Computing" course.
We didn't use no wimpy high-level languages - programming was in autocode. It's amazing what you can do if nobody tells you that it's supposed to be difficult :-)
I never did see "THE COMPUTER". I honestly didn't make it past basic. Computers had to compete with girls and photography.
Computers lost.
