This is great. I've been an Atari fan for years. I'm 30 years old, and I've owned at least one Atari system since I was about 10. First the 2600 then a 800XL, and then a 1040 STf and an 520 STe. Both of which I still have but the 1040STf is on the fritz. But my STe is still alive and well and I still play games on it. I also still have an Atari 130XE but my floppy drive doesn't work anymore so I can't play games on that anymore except for the few cartridge games that I have.
Actually come to think of it my first ST computer was the old 520 ST with the external disk drive. I currently own the two ST computers two external drives (but one of them is a single sided drive.),two SC1224 color monitors, and an SX212 1200 baud modem. I also have an off brand 2400 baud modem.
The only think I don't like about the STe is that there are some old ST games that don't work right. I have Rick Dangerous 1 which worked find on my 1040STf but it my STe would always bomb. I also have Star Gliders. It was one off my favorite game. I didn't have the greatest graphics but the game play was fun, but it will not work on the STe. You have to use a mouse to fly around in your space craft and use the left mouse button to fire. As soon as I press the fire button the game would freeze. That never happened on the STf.

Well, anyhow, it's good to see that there are still some Atari fans out there.
