They had computers in East Germany? Wow. What was it, some sort of Soviet
PDP clone or something?

I brought a rather large East German computer from
Germany to the US in
November of 2001. I got pulled aside in the UK just before boarding my
transfer flight to answer questions about it. I had to open the boxes
and show the security personnel what was inside. I explained who I was
and what I did, and after looking for a bit they must've concluded I
wasn't a terrorist and sent me on my way.
(At least they held the plane for me :)
