Rumor has it that Hans Franke may have mentioned these words:

>ATARI GS ?
>AFAIK there was never a system named like that - just the XE.

Sure was: the Atari XE _G_ame _S_ystem. Had (IIRC) Missile Command in the
built-in ROM and had a slot for others... if you added a keyboard, drive,
and all the knick-knacks, you could turn it into a regular XE.

Personally, I'm of the opinion of "why buy a car and weld on it a month to
turn it into a truck... just buy a truck." ===> why buy a game to have to
buy a bunch of stuff to turn it into a useful computer... just buy a computer.

Having never seen one in captivity let alone in the wild, I really can't
comment much past this.

Hope this helps,

Recycling is good, right???  Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
