I am a fan of this format of computer sometimes called the grandfather of the Amiga as Jay Miner was one of the developers at Atari on this computer. Great way to get access to the large variety of software for this computer as it was sold for over a decade like the Commodore 64 its rival of the 8 bit computer giants.
