Atari didnt make the 64..that was Commodore...Ataris first pc were the 400 and 800..I had an 800..the game system was the 2600

You are correct. Your memory is better than mine. It was actually the 800XL which I believe had 64K of memory.

A friend was the wife of one of the authors of VisiCalc.

VisiCalc was one of IBM’s greatest blunders ... they didn’t see the potential in it (thought it was too “obvious”) and never copyrited it!!!!! So along come dozens of copycats ,, foxbase dbase excel etc. etc. ,,, BILLIONS of dollars lost.

loved PONG.

In college I ran the print shop for the school. It was in the basement of the student union across the hall from the Rathskeller.

They stored their video game consoles in the print shop. Pong was one and I forget the other. They had room for one game so the extra one was stored in my print shop.

Needless to say when the printing was done it was time for fun and that meant...PONG!

I was too poor to afford it back then but would play it when we got to town and to Zayres.

Did you think you'd ever hear that name again?
