Long read ahead. We stay with Atari and are happy to once again present a professionally researched article by trained journalists (… there are quite a few others 😙).

In 1979, Atari pushed the 400 and the 800 into the market. Until then, the company was more known for its video game consoles and to compete against the holy trinity of Apple ][, Commodore PET, and TRS-80 at the time, they needed devices that could seriously compete in the growing microcomputer market and free Atari from the cliché of being a game console manufacturer.

What followed is history ... but for those who either don't remember what happened between Atari and Apple in the years that followed, or were simply still the not-so-pious wish of their own parents, there's plenty of potentially unknown and interesting information in Benj Edwards' article.

The text is from 2019 and almost exactly 2 years old. So to put it as news is not quite fair ... but for us it is news. Maybe for you too. 😁

You have a long train ride ahead of you, or just a little time in the wing chair? Then the article could well be the right thing. Give it a try.
