Toys R Us also wasn't afraid to dump Atari stuff cheap. -
I met him at the VCF in New Jersey a few years ago. He had some good stories about the early days of Atari. Very sad news.

Telesys TurboPrint/GTA printer interface settings
redman replied to redman's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers

If you're looking for an easy to build, strong bench, this is a basic guide to making your own design. I made one with 2 shelves underneath and a back board to use as a standup work bench. Change the sizes to suit your needs. You can easily change the front 2x4 design so you can get your feet underneath. I let home depot cut the wood to size. http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/workshop/bench/below20xl.html The lumber, after the cutting was done: The side "stretchers", 45" long. (3" less than the overall length.) - (4) each The legs, about 32" long. - (4) each The end stretchers, 26" long. - (4) each
