Wow !!! I have an old Atari 800 computer. Back around 1979-80 my "home system" consisted of an Atari 800, a single sided single density disc drive, and an interface module used to drive an Epson Dot Matrix printer.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
I was firmly in the Commodore camp in the 80s.
My mom was 10 in 1978.
