Hi, Everybody -

My love affair with the Atari 8-bit computer began in 1982. It was my
introduction to home computers and programming, and I have loved every
minute of it. Now the time has come for me to part with my 8-bit
gear. :`( I have a small collection of equipment and software I'm
looking to pass on to a good home. [b]One caveat[/b] -- Before
packing it up, I successfully booted and have run the self-test
routine on one 130XE machine; but since the disk drive is not
operating, [u]I have not operated the system otherwise in the past few
years[/u]. That said, listed below are the items I am inviting offers
for.

Long live Atari!
