themrfreeze Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hi all. Just wondering if anybody has a working Atari 400 laying around that they'd like to get rid of for a few bucks. I was playing around with an 8-bit emulator today (I was big into 8-bits in the 80s, so I get nostalgic for them now and again), and my 2 year old got enormous jollies typing things into the 400/800 memo pad. Between that and the mylar keyboard on the 400s being good for kids, I think getting him one is in order. Feel free to E-mail me if you have one. Thanks!

Nukey Shay Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I disagree. Go for an older 800. Those things are build really sturdy, and have the advantage of teaching good typing skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themrfreeze Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 I agree that the 800 is more useful than the 400, but I fully expect my son to dump at least one cup of juice on it. Best to get a 400 for him to play with now, and something more useful later on when he actually wants to start using a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcross Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I think ziggystar may have one. Send him a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
