They may not know but I'm sure it's soon to be a subject as the Atari is
close to the advent of the home peecee and all they have to do is get a few
people bringing the stuff in. Most of you already know that the machines
that many of you have aren't just classics over 10 yrs old but bonafide
antiques per the 20 yr rule too.
