OT-atari 2600

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

Thanks for the heads up, Patrick!

I'm definitely getting one!

I still have my o'le Atari, but the handheld dealio sounds really
convenient.

To spend $8000 on a computer sounds a little extreme to me, especially if he
only had $10K to play with, but if it made him happy, who cares. I know a
lot of people, that have gotten large amounts like that, and almost all of
them have nothing to show for it.

I probably would've spent the money on a Jeep Wrangler instead, oh wait a
minute, I did. ;)
