        You know you can still get one on ebay :) that's if you're still interested. Probably better off with an Amiga Emulator.

              I had an Atari, but only because my friend had one and convinced me to get one instead of an Amiga. I can now say the Amiga was clearly the superior machine.

                      Ditto, except the 1024. So not really ditto. Well, except for the Atari bit. So Dit. I had saved up for ages to afford it, only to find that the delivery costs would mean waiting longer. So I drove round the M25 to Watford Electronics to pick it up on my motorcycle. Coming home with it and the monitor bungeed to the pillion was some adventure, I can tell you.

                              I upgraded mine so I could play The Secret of Monkey Island. The only problem was that the upgrade kit was a bit crap and ended up being slightly too tall for the case (as I remember it, it was a board that sat on top of the processor). So for the rest of my Atari ST days the case was slightly bowed and would rock back and forth on a flat surface.

                                Never had an Amiga... Atari 800XL... From there, I moved to an IBM PS/2-25. Still have my old copy of the IBM Basic Handbook... The little book that started it all.
