Modern Word Processing in the Age of Atari

Why Atari is (also) cool - AtariWriter and Atari 1020 Plotter Demo!

Anybody got a plotter for the CPC?

And here one with the Centronics GLP I recently purchased for the CPC - it requires a SIO-to-parallel interface:

Thanks for the nice video!


The 800XL was my first computer and I still love the sound of the keyboard and the overall look and feel of the machine.


Never saw a 1020 back in the days, but I think is pretty cool!

And you got the CPC after the 800 XL?

[robcfg]

Yes, because I had 6128s at school and the Basic dialect was way better.


So I begged for it, and got a 464 with green monitor. Fair enough considering that it was quite an investment for my family at the time.

Great. And you kept the Atari as well? You know, Games...

Yes, and in 34 years I only had to replace 1 ram chip!
