   It is refreshing to read that you are programming on the Atari, this   
   platform can   
   use all the programmers we can get.   
      
   If you want to make money with a program. I would go with something that   
   could be   
   transported over to the other platforms, PC/Apple.  Such as an original   
   game, or a useful   
   application/utility. Do it on the Atari and get feedback from users to see   
   what they think of it.   
      
   If it's good, then look into doing a version for another platform where the   
   number of users is larger.   
   Best of Luck and keep programming.
