   Jack Tramiel was talking to people like me, I was 20, who couldn't   
   afford an authentic computer like Macintosh or IBM/PC, because it   
   was way too expensive for us.   
      
   Today, if ATARI was releasing the ATARI VCS all around the world,   
   and join it an authentic ATARI ST keyboard, it would be great! We   
   already have joysticks C40. That would seems as 40th anniversary :-)   
      
   I would love programming on a true ATARI computer, again...   
      
   Regards,
