Yeah, I think I was 7 years old back then. So 1977 would be about right.
The whole computer was actually run by a guy at the back of the room. -- his computer was much bigger.

"smartasscub", yes I'm really that kid. That's about it. I tried to learn German in high school and later tried to learn Spanish in college. "Bonjour Grandmere, Granpere. Como tale vou?" is about all I ever learned.

"sabeur1" if you're really that kid, then I really do hope for the love of God that your French has improved

It doesn't show the part, after he speaks French to his grandparents, where he blows them away with missiles, using what he learned from the Atari.
I owned one of these too. Great machines in their day.

Oh man, I used to have one of those. Complete with tape drive and everything.
Wow. I'm that kid learning French. Haven't seen this one in years. Irony is I took the money from the commercial and bought an Apple II.
