Sr. Ferraz, I'm a Brazilian, too, but I'll write in English in respect to the other members of this forum. This is my first day as a registered user on Atari Age, and I probably don't have half of the knowledge that you do on Atari history. Anyway, I could recognize some of the pictures that you posted on the topic and I must say that I was very, very much pleased to see them. It's simply BEAUTIFUL! As I have said, I'm not a very experienced collector -- in fact, all that I have is an old (but still working) Atari 2600/Polyvox and a couple of cartridges --, but I'm really interested in learning more about it: from where to find good old stuff to buy here in Brazil to the basics on how to fix and preserve hardware and software. So, if you don't mind, please send me a personal email (doassis@hotmail.com) or other kind of contact through which I could reach you and exchange some more information... in Portuguese! Again: congratulations for your work! D.

I sure will! The 2600 was my first videogame... Actually the real 1st one was a CCE Supergame, which existed only here in Brazil, but later I got an Atari 2600/Polyvox console and managed to keep it working, in its original box, throughout all these years... It´s just recently, though, that I decided doing some refurbishing in my home and created a special spot just for placing it (had to buy a 14'' tube TV in order to get the "best" out of it, though!) I still want to get my hands on some original cartridges -- have been browsing on eBay for the past few hours, recalling some great memories! But then I ran into the Harmony Cartrdige, which I was not aware until now, and thought it wold be another great gadget to play other games that I can't or don't want to spend on. Cheers! D.

Cool, littleman jack! It worked this time! (In fact, it was the same page, but at first I must have skiped the part where I have to choose "Other country" in the contract box) Thanks for your prompt reply! D.

Hello there! My name is Diego Assis, I am 31 years old and live in Brazil. I am completely new to Atari Age, so excuse me if I break some rule by starting this topic! The thing is: I just tried buying the Harmony Cartridge from http://harmony.atariage.com/ , but when I proceeded to check out - through Google - I received a notice stating that I could not buy the product because it wouldn't ship to Brazil (Sao Paulo). Is there any other way how I could buy it? Thanks in advance, D.
