grey/msb Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Dear ATARI ST fans! Last year we were celebrating 35 years of the Atari ST line of home computers, the successor to the Atari 8-bit family. The prototype presentation of the ST was held at the CES in January 1985 in Las Vegas. It was very successful for Atari, and the product helped revive the company. It was the first personal computer to come with a bitmapped colour GUI. The initial model, the 520ST was released in 1985. It's primary designer was Shiraz Shivji (born in 1947 in Tanzania) an African engineer, also Atari's Vice President of Research and Development. The "Father" of Atari's first 16-bit computer - the ST. In 2012, in a special video with greetings to the participants at the "Silly Venture" event held in Poland, Shiraz admitted that his favourite computer he designed was the Atari 520ST, which caused a wave of enthusiasm amongst SV participants.As a main organizer of the Silly Venture party, I was so proud to receive hand written greetings from Shiraz, and close to 200 T-shirts were printed and given out to every SV visitor. Here is a direct link to the mentioned video-greetings on YouTube: On this new item from us, you get "35th ATARI ST anniversary scarf" with a hand written signature by the Father of the ATARI ST! Not only for autumn and winter walks, but also as a fan accessory - the scarf will also look fantastic in any retro corner, and your very own signature from the creator and designer of this computer will be a priceless souvenir for every die-hard ST fan! And hey, just imagine visiting some retro-computer clubs or parties with this scarf! These are solidly made scarves, woven on both sides utilising HD technology! It's 100% acrylic, warm at winter, fashionable and comfortable too. Version: PremiumSize: 20 x 140 cmMaterial: Acrylic By purchasing our product you are helping support "Retro Venture" in the implementation of new projects, as well as "Silly Venture" which has been held in Gdansk/POLAND since 2000! THANK YOU! ATARI ST 4EVER! The scarf can still be purchased, among others via Ebay, but the current batch is limited in quantity (the second batch is in production).
