My brother and I used to chat on the BBSs
like crazy on the Atari 800 circa 1982. I
should have taken pictures of the screen, but
who would have thought about that except you!
I did however, take photos of his fantastic,
pixel-level artwork because photographic
storage was more reliable that that fugazy
Atari tape drive that would take forever! I
still have many tapes filled with that
annoying warble. Want them? He was a good
Basic programmer... peeking and poking like
mad with machine language runs.
