I got lucky!
I went into a mom and pop type video game store a couple years ago and asked them if they had any old atari games in the back. He said he tought so, and went into the back of the store. I waited a few min's, boy was i wicked surprised when he came out with a 1040 under his arm's...
he said i got this and a monitor for it and a box of disks and a mouse too.
I said how much...well anyways i paid $30 for everything!
Funny this is I paid over $1,000 for a 520 and a single sided drive when the ST line first came out in the fall of 85.!!!!
Them days rocked!
As much as i liked my 800xl... i just did so much more on the st!
Drawing in degas, going on local BBS's<<<-- taht was a big one... i was online sooo long ago....plus it was my fiest computer that used a mouse!
And much latter is was the fist computer i got a hard disk drive for!
Atari user meetings here in western mass we're great too!
I remember seeing neodesk for the first time! the guys that made it show it off us!
too much atari ST excitement!!!
i gotta go!
