I am posting this about my love of Atari computers. I have used them since about 1981 or 1982 (unsure exact year) when my father purchased (through work payroll deduction) an Atari 800 with a single-sided/single-density (90k) 5-1/4″ floppy disk drive and 410 Cassette desk (yes, that is how some programs were saved).
I used to attend the local user group meeting once a month (for most months). It was there that I learned to appreciate and like computers. I used to write simple programs, but I used them to write one of my major reports for college many years later. Some of my favorite programs I used were Speed Script 3.0, SynCalc, and many others. I played a lot of games like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, War Games, and others. Currently, to get my Atari 800 fix, I use emulators. I have used a program called Atari800 (Linux) and Altirra for the 8-bit and hAtari for the 16-bit series of Atari computers.
