IN 2002 and I was as glad as you where!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I had a very similar story leading up to my 800 purchase in '82. I spent way too many hours on my 800/810. My grades went waaaaaaaaay down in school after the 800 showed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefulton Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 >>Grades Yeah, I don't think it's any coincidence that the "straight A's" I got in 8th grade were turned into B's, C's and D's in high school. So much for the 8-bit home computer as a "learning tool" !! I did "learn" stuff, just not what was applicable to high school. All in all, my "Atari Education" helped me much more than anything I ever studied in school, and that includes college. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
