71: ThinkWORKS 71 The Forgotten Computer Giant That Still Speaks To My Inner Nerd!

from ThinkWORKS: Because Thinking Is The Hardest Work There Is. · host ThinkWORKS

After a few heavy subjects, it's now time for a total nerdfest episode as I journey through adventures with Atari computers, look at how the company began, give my assessments as to why Atari failed, and explain why I still have and use my STe, Mega STe, TT and Falcon computers to this day! And all without rubbishing the Amiga! You probably won't have a clue as to why that last bit is important (well, not unless you give this episode a listen), so let's just say I did warn both Atari and Commodore, and their fans, that things needed to change if they wanted to survive. Clearly, they didn't listen...Join in the nerdiness at  https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/951112e0-cc85-4f34-b978-15f65f0d739c and tell me your favourite computing platform from yesteryear and why (but be kind to fans of the competitor brands please!) and share your anecdotes of your time using them!
