Dan Kramer’s Notebook

Source: https://archive.org/

Kay Savetz known to many retro lovers and especially Atari fans does a lot of things. Besides running The Atari 8-bit Podcast and writing on numerous of his websites he very much enjoys digitizing nearly lost material like old magazines, videos and handwritten notes.

Yes dear, there has been a time when people used ink-filled sticks to scribble letters, numbers and drawings onto a sheet of material, consisting essentially of fibers of vegetable origin and formed by dewatering a fiber suspension on a screen. 😯

Recently Kay interviewed Dan Kramer who worked at Atari from 1980 to 1984 in the consumer engineering group where he created products for Atari home computers and home video games. Dan was involved in the development of the Atari Trak-Ball as well as a number of other projects.

Going though his notes is interesting and fun at the same time. But be warned, lot’s of nostalgia ahead.
