oh, well, my 1st computer was an Atari 800 as well, though I didn't do much more than play 'Star Raiders' on it..first real one was a Leading Edge model D I bought in 1985 (sold to my Dad years ago...and he's still using it and it still works! scary..;)

If you go out on the web, there are tons of free emulators (and the games that go with them), which will give you the 40 column displays of yesteryear. I used to have the Altair, the IBM 370 (what I was going to do with that I'd never know..;), Atari 800, and Commodore 64. If you need that nostalgia fix, it can be itched..do a search on them..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
