I don't think it was possible to own a 600XL in 1981. No I wrong, 800 & 410 in 1981, 600XL in late 83 an 800XL in 1984. due to my grand age.

(Like you A800 & 410 in 81) Yup, I started with an 800 & 410 in 1981 (at the age of 11), and got an Indus GT a year later. Boy I loved those days!

porge Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm 43 and have been an Atari User since I was about 13. My dad bought an Atari 400 and 410 tape recorder and of course I took it over pretty quickly like all kids would! I wrote many programs in Atari Basic, but alas now most of them have been lost...

analmux Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi, At the moment I'm 31, and a few days ago I moved to another apartment in the same city (Gent, Belgium). A few weeks ago google streetview was (finally) legalized here in Belgium. Here's a streetview of my home: http://maps.google.be/maps?q=gent+rijsenbergstraat&hl=nl&ll=51.040679,3.704876&spn=0.000003,0.002401&sll=50.805935,4.432983&sspn=3.700561,9.832764&vpsrc=6&hnear=Rijsenbergstraat,+9000+Gent&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=51.04074,3.704732&panoid=Dk9r4JkF2nCICImwXigowg&cbp=12,38,,0,-17.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbking67 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Got my 800XL when it first launched in 1983 and an Indus GT that Christmas. I'm 44. Originally from Nepean Ontario (part of Ottawa now) Canada. Currently living in rural south Ottawa. Just set up one of my 8-bits for the first time in nearly 20 years. I have a 130XE, an 800XL (maybe a couple of broken XL's as well) and an XEGS along with the remnants of a once awesome array of hardware (sadly much was sold in the late 80's).

KubaCZ Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It seems I'm the youngest here Currently I'm 15 and I live in Prague, Czech republic. My first Atari was in 2009, almost never used, boxed 800XE with XC-12. It didn't even have turbo 2000 installed in it, so only way to load games was slow tape. I always wanted SIO2PC, I've made MAX232 version of it, but it never worked. Luckily on may of this year I've finally got it to work (75C189 version). After finding that most newer games/apps require atleast 130XE to work, I had to buy one . Now my dream is to collect every type of 8-bit Atari, because I think they're much better than nowdays PC's (but still love my 486 notebook which was my first computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fres Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 There's some potential for profit if you collect properly. Tho, I would not suggest a career in it. I'm 14. I mean, uh ... I'm 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KubaCZ Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I never collected it for profit in the future; of course it'll be worth more and more, but I collect it just for fun and enjoying old games/hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 64, Fairfield, N.J. USA. Got my father an 800 when the price for an 800, 410 cassette player, and BASIC cart package dropped to $200. I got an 800XL soon after that to answer all his questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodcat Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 37, Southeastern Connecticut USA. Never owned the Atari 8 bit computer line as a kid/teen but did have a 2600 I got for Christmas 84. First 8 bit Atari computer I have seen IRL was the one I bought this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
