Atari History Book Volume 1

[martyg]

Hi,
 
@Pentad,
 
WOW!!!
 
An Atari book, lets see where can I buy matches, they are to hard to find, maybe a zippo lighter, that way if it is windy out, I still can burn it.

That's fine, we'll be happy not to sell one to you.
 

Much awaited my askum, why do people bring up such blasphemy on an Amiga site.

How is it blasphemy? It's about Atari Inc., not Jack Tramiel's Atari Corporation, it has nothing to do with the Atari that competed against Amiga. Atari Inc. is of course where Jay used to work and developed the 2600 Stella chip and 8-bit series of computers.
 
Don't worry though, we'll be coming out with a second book, on Atari Corporation specifically, and you can cry blasphemy all you want on that. But we will be clearing up all the Amiga/Atari purchase misinformation as well.

Im really looking forward to this book and in particular the second book covering atari corporation.Are you involved in this book?If so well done and good luck with it.I will be buying it as soon as it's released.

 
Yes, I'm the co-author with Curt Vendel. We were just out in the Silicon Valley area doing interviews last month in fact, and just missed out on an interview with Jack for the 2nd book. We were supposed to meet with him the week he died. I'm also the one who broke the news about Jack's death to the media (hence my quote in the Forbes article).
