    Hi everyone, gosh things have changed since I first got my hands on an Atari 400 mid 1981.

    I remember going to a computer club where most computers had black & white displays and were mainly, Atoms, Pets & 1 Ti99-4a (cassette loaded stuff).

    When they saw my Atari 400 with rom carts loading instantly, and the colour display (TV) with sound, their jaws dropped. A crowd gathered around the machine.

     

    A bit about me (Atariwise). I went onto 800's, XL's then the ST's of course. 

    I think my first PC was about 1993 the web was primitive in the UK back then.

    I'm afraid that's when the Atari stuff took a back seat.  

    I just couldn't get rid of my Atari gear, thank goodness, and now I find quite a lot of add on hardware about! Great.

    Well now to dust off the cobwebs.

    Lets play.....

      Glad you kept your stuff!  Couldn't be a better time to get back into it, the sheer number of new hardware (and software) is just incredible.

      Welcome!


      I'm in a pretty similar spot to you. I had a 400 as a kid that my dad got us in about 79, then moved onto an 800XL that my older brother got in 82 or 83.  The bad part for me was I left home for the service when I was 18 and didn't safeguard these machines and they were lost to the sands of time. From 90-96 I was in the navy and I did buy a 520 ST from an instructor I ad in 91, and I still have that to this day, but otherwise I had really little to do with computing..but left the service in 96 and went to college and got back into it. I'm  a software engineer to this day, and I have played around with various emulators over the years, but finally decided I wanted my own hardware again and have recently began tracking down 400 and 800XL machines.
