Well, I don't really consider a system running on an emulator to be
"complete", but yeah, I knew about that site.
I'm really just dying to get one (or one of each kind) of the
terminals in my collection though! Its an important piece of graphics
history.

One of my pet projects for awhile has been to get the Atari 8-bit version of
the PLATO software (cartridge) working with the cyber1 system mentioned
here.
I've seen some screenshots of it running on Atari 8-bit, it looks pretty
neat. You can also get programs for Windows/UNIX/Mac OS X to connect to it,
which is what I've used so far. I have to say I have a hard time believeing
an instructional tool like this existed so long ago. I was/am very
impressed.
