This is probably the coolest thing to happen since they came out with the Atari ST emulator for Windows. Now Mac users will finally be able to run Atari ST programs.

As much as I disliked the Tramiels back in the day for shelving the Atari 7800 in 1984 and lots of empty promises with the Lynx and Jaguar, I have to admit that they put out some decent Jackintoshes, I mean Atari STs (Jackintosh was slang for the Atari ST because the ST and the Mac were based on the Motorola MC68000 processor, and Atari was owned by Jack Tramiel). And their 8-bit computers (especially the Atari XE Game System) were really nice.

Of course the thing I'll always be grateful to Jack Tramiel for is the Commodore 64. That little 64K beige and brown computer gave me years of use...I used to have a 1200 baud modem for it.
