@claudiom OSEnvy must of been caused by remants of BSD in OSX :)
-
@patdavila Might have been more the fact that they don't have to contribute back with *BSD. ;-)
-
@patdavila don't forget Jay Miner. Atari wouldn't build his box, so Commodore did - the Amiga.
-
@patdavila and Jay Minder designed the ANTIC, the graphics chip in Atari 400/800(XL).
-
@patdavila cool trivia: Shiraz Shivji, the designer of AtariST was designer of the C64 ;-)
-
@jwildeboer Love to know where the early computers users wound up.To me the Linux community is the closest to the early computer users
-
@jwildeboer Love the historical stuff.Had Bil Herd on TLLTS a while back.Love to get some old Atari people on as well at some point
-
@patdavila The Atari computers were also one of my faves. The ST and TT were sweet machines, + they had built-in MIDI ports. :-)
-
@patdavila - to me the C64 owners were the 'haves'. Vic20 owners like me where the 'have-nots'. :)
-
@claudiom Yeah the Atari excelled at sound back then while the Amiga was stronger w/graphics
-
@patdavila would love to be at that gig! Will you sell VIP cards? ;-)
-
@patdavila /me still has his Atari1040STF. You should come to MUC for VCFE Vintage Comp Festival
-
@jwildeboer It all depends on who I can line up. But yeah you're invited :)
-
@patdavila Yes, I remember drooling at the graphics of Amiga games at the time compared w/ other computers available then.
-
