I've owned and used early every Atari product ever made, including all of the various 8-bit computers and some of the 16-bitters. Tried getting back into 'em within the last couple of years in fact, but just couldn't. Even had the SIO2PC device, which was brilliant - but compared to other computers of the past which I still use (Commodore and TI mainly), the Atari stuff just isn't as compelling. I will say though, there's some really cool stuff going on homebrew wise out of Poland for the A8's.

@Pentad,

 I'd like to see these questions answered on the ST forum over at Atari Age. Talk about religious A8/ST fanboys over there   :laughing:
