+sm3 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don't believe the TRS-80 community is as big as the Commodore commmunity obviously, but we are out there. People are still making software/hardware to support them as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just when I thought life could not get any worse, Atariage forum now contains dedicated Commodore threads,this reminds me of the treachery involved when shooting an Atari sign in the Atari version of Mercenary, it's just too much-sob, sob :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just when I thought life could not get any worse, Atariage forum now contains dedicated Commodore threads,this reminds me of the treachery involved when shooting an Atari sign in the Atari version of Mercenary, it's just too much-sob, sob :( :( Not sure if you're serious, but there are already hundreds of dedicated Commodore threads. They are now just grouped together in two Commodore-related forums. There is no reason whatsoever why people cannot enjoy more than one system. It's not like you have to pledge exclusivity to Commodore or Atari, in the same way that many people own more than one modern game console (PS4, Wii U, Xbox One, etc.) ..Al 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I hit the Amiga machines pretty hard-core back in the day. These days I like the Amiga, Atari 8-bits, and the Atari STe equally. The Apple IIe and Color Computer II feature highly as well. So I really find it hard to imagine being stuck in the old flag-waving mentality. There are lots of great machines out there for people to discover (and re-discover). I can safely say that AtariAge is the best computing forum I'm ever seen. Much of that has to do with diversity.

iesposta Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was not "into" the 16-bit computer era, and I had an Atari 800XL until a Macintosh 4400 in the late 90's. But there is all that "head of Commodore Jack Tramiel taking over Atari" that is all hard to understand. Like I said I wasn't into 16-bit home computers, but I remember, probably wrongly, that the Atari-developed machine was made by Commodore, or some kind of a switch thing. So that said, a Commodore Forum of any kind here at Atari makes sense to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
