Broke 0 #53 March 12, 2006 Nope I am talking about the atari 800. You didn't have to type in retarted strings to start games. Just plug the ame in and off it went. If you had a game programed in basic all you had to do was plug in the basic cartrige, and then put the flopy in.

Its ok though... it forced me to find other things to do with myself... like falling out of trees... (I think I've fallen out of 3 or 4 at least...)

Lindsey 0 #55 March 12, 2006 Damn....I can't remember. But I was prob'ly 10 or 12, so it would've been 76 or 78...in there somewhere. Just a game console. Maybe it was cream colored, but I thought it was yellow. I thought I was the SHIT, and all my friends wanted to play it....lol. But that's way too far on the back burners now.... linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

I don't ever remember running it at 8 MHz (fyi: it might have been KHz... but it was a long time ago so I don't remember...)Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

I do like the keyboard/mouse on one level but couldn't believe how hard it was to find a desk with pull out area wide enough to accommodate keyboard and mouse. Like whoever designed the system figured one could work with mouse on different level? Anyhoo, depends how much you use your keyboard- and how much booze you have to drink.... I prefer to have it the right level....... and display at higher level---(used to stack old phone books under it) SMileseustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

billvon 3,090 #63 March 13, 2006 My first computer was a PET. Followed by an Atari 400 (not as fancy as the 800) an Apple II and a 6809-based PC I designed. The 6809 got me through college. After that I started on PC clones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
