hitchcock4 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I bought and this week received VisiCalc "for Atari 800" (that's what it has on the box). Call me odd, but even though I have never used Visicalc itself, I think it's cool to own the first spreadsheet program written. It was first sold in 1979. It was written for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore PET, and the IBM PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I have 2 complete copies of visicalc, I also have boxed copies of Superscript (word processor) B/Graph(statistical Analysis Package), Magniprint II+, 10Print,complete set of Video Title software etc etc etc. Strange fascination with these old Utilities, no idea why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I got an SD SDHC MMC Card To Female ATA 3.5" IDE HDD Adapter to use with my MyIde flashcart. This was quite a bit cheaper than my 256MB Transcend CF-IDE module. Stephen Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I was working for IBM at the time and I got to try VisiCalc on the early PC... what a dog. The Atari version was much faster and cleaner. I remember Basic wasn't anything so great on the PC, either. (it was faster than Atari Baisc, however) Bob I bought and this week received VisiCalc "for Atari 800" (that's what it has on the box).

spookt Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Nice haul (and some nice de-yellowing candidates by the look of things!) Edited February 11, 2009 by spookt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorgle Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, slather those babies up with the magic goo and make 'em white again. What are those controllers? Never saw those before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogma Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) From eBay for $51.00 I had a max bid of $50 on that and was away from the computer when the auction ended so you snaked it for a buck more... Waaaaah! I'm just trying to get an old Atari back into my life after all these years and I thought it would be fun to make my first a 1200XL. Oh, well... You clearly needed it more than me and there will be others! Enjoy the loot! ~S Edited February 11, 2009 by Ogma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) 4 carts: Shamus, Protector II, Star Trek and Atlantis, BIN for $20.

+Guitarman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I actually have a set of controllers like that, that I got back in the 80's. I think they're Colecovision controllers but work fine on the Atari. Yeah, slather those babies up with the magic goo and make 'em white again. What are those controllers? Never saw those before.

+Guitarman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Nice haul (and some nice de-yellowing candidates by the look of things!) Yes they will!!! Have my container of 'Retr0Brite' ready to go. I have a 1200XL case of Yorgle's I'm doing also. I had a max bid of $50 on that and was away from the computer when the auction ended so you snaked it for a buck more... Waaaaah! I'm just trying to get an old Atari back into my life after all these years and I thought it would be fun to make my first a 1200XL. Oh, well... You clearly needed it more than me and there will be others! Enjoy the loot! ~S Sorry about that!!! The 1200XL is my favorite so I collected them, depending on the price, and that lot was very reasonable. Now...the one on eBay for 150.00+ dollars...that's another story!!!
