Slightly OT

[roccnroll@hotmail.com (Drew Teague)]

I still have an Atari 800 and a 400, too.  As well as the 5 1/4" floppy 
drive that is as big as a cinderblock.  No internal disks, mainly cartridge 
based.  The 800, (higher model) had I think 4k total memory (2 ram, 2 rom) 
based in four internal cartridges, each about 9"x4"x1"
I even had a data cassette drive for it that took regular audio cassettes.
My brother and I got it out over last Christmas back at my parents' house 
and played some of the old games...  not much you can do with one button :)
