    Oh that's right I saw you mentioned Ataris somewhere on your blog posts,
too.  I am jealous now.  I've wanted an atari 130xe again and an ST or
TT/Falcon at some point to play with for so long again, but I haven't had the
stability to get it done in forever, nor the space requirements...  Something
to work for, soon as I've got the packet radio tie-in for my BBS done.  :)
    I was thinking that'd crash...  I wonder if it'd do alright on 33.6 or any
of the higher compressions that never seem to actually reach the legit speeds
like that on POTS.  Anyway, yeah, that's what I expected.  Heh.  Still,
absolutely beautiful.  :)
