Hello friends, erstwhile and otherwise :)
I have to declare myself a total Atari noob, though I have a couple of units, 1040stf, 520stfm, a French 520stfm motherboard, a few monitors. And the mother of all projects a mostly depopulated TT030 motherboard. I'm awaiting the right oppurtunity to dive headlong into Atari fanaticism. In fact I'm planning a novel (oh and I have 1 piece of s/w ... yes a word processor) and thought it would be a nice touch to write some or all on an Atari ST. Preferably a TT030 (please see wanted section). But whatever! I've always had a secret hankering for an ST, for decades in fact. But always from a distance. UNTIL NOW.
A bit more about the writing. I had a Fat Mac many years ago and delved a bit into creative writing ventures of a sort. I loved the whole compact nature of the unit. It inspired me to write in a weird way. I want to accomplish the same thing with an ST. As I'm not enthralled as I once was with Macs, the similarly constructed ST will take it's place. I love 68k based machines. Also bought a box load of faulty Sega Genesis' a while back to tinker with when I have the time.
See ya around the forum!
