Hello Tom, *gives secret atari brotherhood handshake* Atari will rise again! lol It is good to hear some of those machines are still kicking. My atari computer kicked the bucket in the late eighties and I grieved over it. I can't seem to recall my atari call sign. I want to say it was 7600? It was white and had this interesting feature where you could create a virtual ram disk with it. I am probably wrong about the number, I also owned the advanced atari game machine with the controllers that had a number pad and side fire buttons made of soft rubber, and a joystick. I remember playing galaxians and star raiders on it. Oh and pac man. I can't remember any others. It all starts to run together after a while. keep gaming, allan
