Hey, Guitarman - it's me, Dulcie! (formydad). I am SO happy that I found you to take my Dad's Atari collection so that it could be appreciated by you and others. I know he is up there smiling that it is still in action and not in the landfill. Maybe I could have tried to sell it on ebay or whatever, but I know he would have wanted it in the hands of Atari enthusiasts and money was not the object here. I just checked this site after all this time because I found this little thing called "The Pill". Do you want it? Does anybody want it? I'm willing to pay postage to mail it to somebody for free, hate to toss it but it's of no use to me. Happy New Year!

Guitarman: I was happy to see your pictures but just so you know, I am not a "him" I am a "her"!! I really am ecstatic that people will be able to enjoy this as much (or maybe almost as much) as my Dad did. It is a LOT of stuff. Thanks everybody, Dulcie (formyDad)

OK - thanks for a great idea! Not yet, but I will do that today. Sorry to be so clueless, but I have to ask can I post the pictures here or would I need to email them to anyone interested? Anyway, pictures will be available later today.

UPDATE - Thank you all so much for your interest! I think that I have found the right person to take everything. So at this point I will not be posting pictures or itemizing. If anything goes wrong with this arrangement then I will return with further details. I really appreciate everyone's help with this. I didn't want to throw anything out and am happy for my Dad's sake that it is going to a real Atari freak! Hello Atari users! I am hoping someone can help me out here... My Dad was a total Atari enthusiast back in the 80's and early 90's. He finally got too old to use his Atari, he lost his eyesight and it became too difficult for him. He passed away on April 21st this year, he would have been 97 on May 25th. He has left behind a HUGE amount of Atari hardware and software. I have no idea what we have here but it takes up about 1/4 of a two car garage. The basic system is an Atari 800XL. Anyway, I just have no idea what to do with all this stuff (sorry, I am a little technologically challenged at the best of times and especially with Atari). Please give me some advice if you have any. I absolutely cannot throw anything away for two reasons. 1. My Dad was a real packrat and it pained him to throw anything away that might be of use. 2. He specifically listed the Atari computer etc as belonging to the trust of which I am now the trustee so I have a responsibility to do the best thing I can with this stuff which does not include tossing it. This is located in southern California, about 50 miles north of Los Angeles. I would be very happy to give it all away for free to someone who would enjoy having it. Please give me some feedback on this. I am kind of in a hurry as the house sold a little quicker than I anticipated. THANK YOU!
