I started out with an Atari 400 - the one with the "Burger King" keyboard, and a tape drive! Then a year later, we came up with enough cash for me to buy an Atari 800 and and 810 5 1/4 floppy drive - Heaven!!!

I then blew $450 on my first 24-pin dot matrix printer, mainly because it had the ability to print zeroes with a line through them to allow you to tell the difference between an "O" and a "0".

I still have both of them, and a ton of games on tape, floppies and cartridges!

Remember Star Raiders on the cartridge? Wow! I was totally blown away by the graphics!

I even have a "pong" game that hooked to the tv!
