Discussing the Atari ST 1040

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “My Very First Computer!“…

Rayn: My very first computer was an Atari ST 1040, which my father purchased for the family around 1988, when I was just eight years old! So, when I saw my friend sharing this picture on his FB wall a little while ago, it instantly put a smile on my face, and brought back so many childhood memories! Little Green Desktop, for the win!

My favorite game was Alternate Reality: The City! My older brother and I spent many, many hours playing it! Meanwhile, my sister and I loved to take turns playing the game, Mouse Trap! 🙂 Ahh, the days!

Rayn: Shout out to you, Charles, for originally sharing this gem of a post to your FB wall!

Nick M.: Your age is showing

Rayn: Your anus is showing. Oh, wait… My bad. That’s just your mouth. Ha! 🙂

Nick M.: Oh hell naw get off the Internet and tell me that

Sara: Let’s not forget Leisure Suit Larry!

Rayn: I still owe you a Bitstrip, Nick! Watch! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
