First Computer I owed......but followed up with the Am 500. Lucky for me cause there was only one geezer in my area that had an ST, and about 12 of us had 500's
Hello, sorry if you think it's poor quality video, and you don't like it, but i have owned my 130xe (founded in a flea market about 12 years), without notices, without k7 player or floppy drive, also without programs, and i didn't know the Atari's Basic to do a demo (but i know Amstrad's Basic little better!).
And as i stopped my little computers's collection, i found a new owner for my 130Xe, so that's why I made this video to show that the computer still works. And finally, i gave the computer since july 2009...
Don't laugh. This was the third computer I ever owned. Atari 600XL, 800XL and then this one 130XE. I was a kid. I'm thirty-six years old now. Anyway, when I told one of my Atari friends who had an 800XL how much RAM my new Atari 130XE had, he wiped his brow, and said, "Man, that is unbelievable!" HAHA! No joke! Really happened! Wonder what he thinks about the fact I got 4 gigs of RAM now?
Funny... I'm 39 and my story is somewhat similar to yours, blicksflicks... Our first family computer was the original Atari 800, then we moved on to the 800XL, the 130XE and finally the ST. Great memories and wonderful machines for the time!
This was my first computer too, but got it (unbeknownst to me) after it was pretty much obsolete. I still learned a lot from it. It was my first introduction to programming and that's what I'm doing today.
This was my second computer after the 800XL. Under rated machine but died a much quicker death than the c64 - a less powerful machine IMO. Ahh well it's all history now.

I still have one of these, but this video is too much swinging around and not looking at anything.
