I remember our neighbours had an Atari 400 growing up, and we had an Atari 2600 (still have it!). That's pretty much been my exposure to Atari.

My dad's Atari 2600:

I'd love to get a 1200XL ... they seem to be the nicest of the Atari 8-bit line (it's always the keyboard for me).

In the meantime, I got this Atari 800 a while ago ('coz it's got a right proper keyboard, guv). Haven't had a chance to do anything with it ... I know there'll be lots of info online, etc.

So yeah ... I'd love to get around to this one soon. Definitely need to strip it down, scrub the case and figure out the keyboard stickiness issue.
