Yes!!!

It’s sooooo comnfortable here in my technological black hole.

I’ve got my HP41CV, Programmable, Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) calculator here with me. I’ve got my IBM 8088 PC, with 4 (count them FOUR) raging MHz of clock speed, not one but TWO 5-1/4” floppy drives, and to top it all off, its runnning MSDOS 1.1, not that out-moded v1.0!

AND, I’ve got an Atari game system with more than 20 game cartridges, including the Pole Position car racing game - which is only the BEST racing game EVER!!!

I’m all set.

Sounds exactly like my first XT/Turbo! I eventually saved enought to buy a (gasp) HardDrive. A FULL 10Megabytes. It dimmed the lights in the house when you turned it on. All the storage anyone would ever need in a lifetime!

Didn't have the Atari though. I went all the way with the TI99 4/A. What a screamer.
