toddtmw Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 When I ordered, I received an e-mail confirming my order. I did not receive an e-mail about it shipping. Just logged into my account on the site and it shipped on the 9th. Not sure why I didn't get an e-mail. I even checked my junk folder. Weird.

Gunstar Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) It's interesting, but no way I'd replace the 800 badge with one on my machine! I'd rather have an extra Incognito badge on my 800. Just a small one to put on the 800 badge under the 800.

For a logo, I think, a Man from the shoulders, silhouette only, head a little bowed to conceal his face with a black fedora, Kinda like a certain linux emblem, but cooler. Either that, or wearing a ski mask and brandishing an M60 machine gun. Take your pick. ? Best, Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Worley Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The installation of Incognito is really simple. I would have thought something so revolutionary would be a rats' nest. So neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just to be absolutely clear: the 'Incognito' logo in the video thumbnail is an entirely digital creation. I wouldn't particularly want to change the ATARI 800 logo on the case anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If incognito 2 ever appears you can use the red "i". But, being incognito it's best not to add anything at all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, being incognito it's best not to add anything at all. Well, I never planned on adding anything at all, but I do have to say "what's best" is a matter of opinion and personal preference. I don't care if it is called Incognito; doesn't mean it has to be an upgrade that isn't mentioned on the case, IMHO, if I want something to show one is installed, that's my prerogative. Though I don't usually label my machines with what upgrades are inside and doubt I ever would in this case either. But if someone made a cool badge to add, I might. Maybe I'll add a 'Atari Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 800' badge to mine! If I had designed the Incognito, I would have called it something else anyway, I don't care for the name. All internal upgrades are "incognito" anyway. Actually, I'd prefer sticking to the way Atari differentiated to the different 8-bit models with letters after the number. I'd probably go with 800CXE representing that it's still a "colleen" model and the "XE" for "extended line enhanced" like Atari did showing it's more than an 800 or XL model. The 'CXE' would be small, though, like you suggest with the 'i' but in capital font instead of lower case. If an Incognito 2 or 3 ever come out I'm not upgrading just because there is a newer version anyway, I'll be satisfied to keep the original installed. It's not worth it to upgrade for some slight changes or improvements, it would have to be an extreme upgrade and I can't imagine that.

flashjazzcat Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) This 'i' prefix/suffix stuff... It's not an Apple device. 36 minutes ago, Gunstar said: If I had designed the Incognito, I would have called it something else anyway, I don't care for the name. All internal upgrades are "incognito" anyway. It seems to me that the name is perfectly descriptive: "Identity" here being key. Outwardly, the Incognito machine looks like an Atari 800, but wait... when running in XL/XE mode, it is (almost) functionally identical to an XL/XE. Moreover, even this alternate identity can be cloaked when the Incognito is in "Colleen" mode (the machine then operates like a stock or RAM upgraded 800). So - essentially - Incognito gives you an upgraded XL/XE which looks just like an 800. Meanwhile, I have several XL/XE machines with VBXE, U1MB, etc, and they all still look like XL/XE machines. Of course, once you have produced the successor to Incognito, you have every right to call it what you like.
