@Mattzilla

Hehehe, I wasn’t offended or anything, O does have a hand for killing computers no matter how good he buys them, remember when he busted his machine on linux? and the typo is sooo common I try not to bother anymore, but it still bugs me.

And even if we’re not *that* far behind… you’ll laugh at what we call “high bandwidth” here, it’s really hard to see more than 1Mbi/s in a home, no wonder O always sound like he’s calling from, like… Colombia?

And finally, I invite any ExtraLife reader/listener to come to our country, it’s quite an experience and I’ll be glad to show you guys around.

Fucking nostalgia.

@Pablo don’t you mean O’s computer is in constant CrIsis not that it plays CrYsis?

As to my typo on Colombia I bow before your spellcheck skills – lol. If you’re a fan of ELR and you aren’t used to the tongue in cheek references to Colombia being an untamed land of drug cartels, military coup’s and 1930′s technology then I’m not sure what podcast/web comic you’re a fan of.

Obviously O couldn’t produce his fine comic or pirate his fine collection of content on a dinosaur of a machine like that. But it will never stop being funny to imagine that he or by extension his fellow Colombians like yourself manage to do so like some sort of modern descendants of spanish gnomes.

Atari 800, Atari printer, Atari 1010 Tape drive, and 2 atari 1050 5 1/4 Double Density Disk Drive.
The Atari 800 had 2 cartridge slots, one for the Basic programming cartridge, and the other for games. The 800xl had the basic eprom built in, so it had only one cartridge slot. For the person who said 2600 cartridges worked, it never did, the slots were different.
