I have not seen the tv show..are these people hoarding junk?, old newspapers etc? At lease we hoard good stuff!! Keeping the Amiga alive. Are there people hoarding Atari computers?? Is the Atari community very active?

The Atari community is very active and there is a lot of interesting hardware hacking of old Atari STs happening. Atarians are much more inclined to do surgery on motherboards than Amigans. It might be because there is much less add on hardware for the ST and what there is is not as well documented as for the Amiga. There is nothing like the Amiga Hardware Database and Big Book of Amiga Hardware for the Atari ST, TT and Falcon. You have to google Atari hardware piece by piece and having a collection of old Atari magizines helps.
