Have any of you ever known an albino?

I don't mean this to sound as if I am picking on albinos, because that would be a ludicrously stupid thing to make fun of. But honestly, I don't think I have ever seen an albino person in real life... I've seen maybe 2 or 3 of them in pictures.

I knew one in my university days, and there was one working for the company I used to work for when I worked there. These two incidences would be about 20 years apart. The one from university was a tall, gangly, geeky sort with large glasses whose name was Andrew and whose nickname was "Android" (which he did not object to, being a sci-fi fan). The one from work was a young woman in her early 20s who was kinda cute...

I'm a typical pale skin, ex-redhead and people joked to be I was Albino but a real Albino is kind of different
