Tim,

 

I'm having a blast reading through your two volumes of the early 2600 Connection issues. I finished the first volume and now I'm on issue 31 within the second volume. Great stuff and a lot of fun to read. I look forward to the 2012 edition. I just sent payment.

 

Thanks,

John

 

PS: I'm really enjoying the history involved within the issues. By 1990 the 2600 was long out of my mind. I was passed the Coleco, the NES and even my favorite of all time, the Commodore 64. By 1990 I was using a IBM compatible and forgot about those great systems of the early 80s. Reading through the issues in Volumes I & II allows me to see what was going on throughout the 90s with regards to the Atari 2600 and it's games, long before the Internet and eBay made retro collecting popular and simple. Nowadays its a lot easier to buy, sell, trade than it was back in the day when you guys rellied on correspondace by mailed letters and information from the 2600 Connection. Great stuff indeed!
