Also, the "Atom" name, was once used for a British made computer called
the Acorn Atom - back in 1980's ..... the era of the first QL machines
too.
The Atom was a fine machine, with a fast (if unusual) basic.
*#*Snip#*#
I though it ran BBC Basic, which was inferior but similar to SuperBASIC?
IIRC Atom basic was an unstructured basic, fast, but with listingshard to
follow because they were peppered with keyword abbreviations, pokes and
symbols. There may have been similarities with BBC BASIC, but without the
structures.
