Let's see... my sig has just about all of my classic computers, etc. listed.

C64 breadbox and original 1541 not listed.

And I agree with Tone not being enthused about 8-bit Atari's. Having been re-acquainted with them quite recently, they do not have the lasting power that something like a C64 still has. Just couldn't get past the ugly/blocky primitive graphics and colors comparatively when you've got all these systems side by side today. Atari's other systems you can make allowances for and appreciate for what they are - but NOT the A8's IMO - blech. Jay had a good thing going with Amiga obviously. And his A8 back in '79, but then the 80's happened and Atari's 8-bitters didn't do a damn thing to keep up (8-bit wise), but add RAM or maybe (barely) change their OS a bit. Basically just rehashed the same old crap over and over and over again over a span of nearly 10 years!
