I always love dragging out the Atari 400 and taking those classic games for
a spin. Here is another one of my video remakes for those who might be
interested. http://youtu.be/UNf8OQaud2M

Great video Terry.
And I think you hit it on the head with your comments about the 400 and it's keyboard.
Like you said, I always looked at the 400 as a super-duper video game machine that was
also a pretty darn good computer.
What did you say? "If you wanted a 400 with a full stroke keyboard you could get
one... the Atari 800"

Great video Terry.
Thanks.

Yes, it's not common on this list but it is common to see people slam a
particular model without considering the relevant context. By that I mean
the exact year it was released, the price it sold for, the market it was
pitched for, options available (and how much they cost) and the competing
machines available at the time. Only then can you form a meaningful
opinion as to whether it was designed, priced and marketed well (or not).
